Gary Merrill in sci.classics :


Brian, you're being really dense here.  The point is not what kinds
of insight one acquires by being a woman, a slave, or a serf, but
rather what *position* one may gain by being a "feminist philosopher",
a "slave philospher",  or a "serf philosopher".



Gary Merrill in sci.logic  :


Ah yes.  The ultimate academic bugaboo:  funding.  Everything (even your
taxonomy of cognitive disciplines) must be a slave to funding.
