But as I'm sure you know historically women have received far less education-- or no education-- by the way, this still goes on in many countries--
and had far fewer opportunites to have experiences, to have access to publication, to be able to develop their ideas-- or even access to a milieu where they were involved in the production of ideas-- they have been barred acess to occupations, positions, etc
So it's hardly a mystery why they're produced far less philosophy, literature, etc than men.
Even today, the same paper, or identical resumes, presented as a man's and a women's yields far more and far better publications and job offers for the man than for the woman. So it's not that the harms are in the far distant past. And anyway, at what point do you think women started to be accepted to law schools, medical schools, the top academic institutions of the country?
Do you have a clear sense of the history here?
I dont know about Australia, but I do know about the US-- and these things happened in the very very recent past. Maybe you need to read a bit about hese things. It might change your sense of your historic situation.
Emsam.
