Although none of their books have survived, there were a lot of great Greek female philosophers that loved ( philo– ) the wisdom ( -sophia). There are clear references to their existence and the influence they had on the works of some of the most famous Greek philosophers like Plato, Pythagoras or Socrates.
Philosophers in Ancient Greece were the first to attempt to rationalize their perception of nature and the world. Until then, the human kind used mythology and magic to explain the physical phenomena and how the world had been created. In the 7th century B.C. in all Hellenic cities of the Mediterranean and especially in Athens a quite radical approach to explaining the world began; one that used reason and evidence to do so. Their thoughts, experiments and work remarkably changed the way that people understood the world and themselves and became the introduction of scientific thinking for the Western Civilization.
As wise as these Ancient Greeks were, we can’t deny that, there was one major fault that they all had in common. They believed that women were inferior creatures compared to men and that their prospects were extremely limited. Women were excluded from social and political life and the majority were confined to a life at home and bearing children. Very few women philosophers managed to defy all conventions and pursue knowledge for themselves. Apart from their natural curiosity and intelligence, they had to be audacious, persuasive and persistent.

You have to dominate only if you can not get voluntary love and loyalty.
You have to objectify in order to be able to dominate.
You have to feel superior in order to objectify.
Thinking women are inferior is the weak man‘s mental gymnastics to justify trying to force females to be close to them.
Intelligent and capable men know that the true sign of maturity is realizing how inherently masculine and feminine characteristics complement each other instead of comparing them.

Plato actually had two female students in his academy. One, called Axiothea of Phlius, dressed like a man to avoid scrutiny. I mention this because i think reverse-trap stuff is hot and i wish there was a story about an Athenian pederast courting on her thinking she was a boy, and her getting all flustered at experiencing true eros for the first time. Then there would be hi-jinks around attending the gymnasium together where Axiothea has to make up a bunch of excuses not to strip nude and slather each other in olive oil. And it all culminates in them drinking a bit too much wine at a banquet where they make out and the older man bends Axiothea over, prepared to pound some boy-butt only to find out she's a girl! haha, it would be such a fun story.

She would be courted by someone outside the Academy, maybe a playwright or wealthy citizen. And she would put up her guard and try to follow the teachings of the academy but the persistence of her lover would eventually wear down her high-minded resolve as she gradually falls in love with him. It's true that it was a sign of pride in greek society to be able to stay sober and witty during banquets, but since she's secretly a girl she would be unused to drinking and would get drunk easier. Maybe the pederastic lover lures her there, confident in his ability to out-drink his lover and then convinces her right when her reason has been overcome by the sweet ambrosia of alcohol and eros. Maybe it could also feature Aphrodite intervening from time to time to push them together.

There's this funny property about Modernity, wherein because of Whig History the past is codified. That is to say, there is a "canon" to Ancient Greece, and nothing can be added to it. The past is the past, it's set in stone, nothing can ever change it. A similar phenomena happens with dinosaurs: our understanding of the past is perfect, complete, and time is a real objective thing. Any disagreement with the consensus on the past is for purely immoral reasons.

This is of course horseshit. What we have are fragments in the present that we attempt to piece together in a manner that is understandable to us. Because we can only use the fragments we have, our understanding is of course going to be flawed as we do not have every piece. While we can assume that there are a finite number of pieces, we have no way of knowing if we have all of them (indeed, given that these pieces can be destroyed, it is actually possible to know LESS about the past as time goes on, which flies totally against the aforementioned Whig History).

So when someone says "there were Ancient Greek female philosophers", people get mad. Why? Because this disagrees with their Liberal priors about Whig History. Everyone knows that women did absolutely nothing except get beaten, oppressed, and make children in Ancient Greece, the only reason to suggest otherwise is because you're inherently immoral and trying to undermine the foundations of Liberalism by attacking Whig History. If the past wasn't Bad, then Liberalism isn't Good.

The fact you think inherently female traits are limited to getting fucked and giving birth is a very sad and destructive legacy of humanity. I won‘t argue that modern women almost completely lack those valuable inherent female traits because they have been guided to neglect or even despise them in favor of trying to imitate masculinity. Which leaves women with no other distinct traits than being able to give birth since they have let the world rob them of their feminine qualities and have failed to establish masculine traits. Which isn‘t a sign of their inferiority since that was never meant to be. Women aren‘t men. Forcing them to try to be like men was the worst idea humans ever had.

Which is all the sillier because we do actually know that there were Ancient Greek female philosophers. The following is a list of some of them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Ancient_Greek_women_philosophers
A few of these could be argued about. Did Hypatia, who anyone who has read Plato would know about (tsk tsk /lit/! You still haven't started with those Greeks!), really exist? Good question, we have no idea, none of these female philosophers' works have survived in whole to us. None of them were probably all that groundbreaking. A few of them were mathematicians (it's more proper to call Diotima a mathematicianess than a philosophoress, in my opinion), and a few of them were alchemists (several of whom actually obtained the philosopher's stone!). We have no idea if Aspasia had any good ideas herself, but then it was her good idea to get a bunch of smart men together so that they could discuss their good ideas, so I would say that yes, she did in fact have at least one good idea (well, no, two, the second was shacking up with Pericles).

Which is sort of a moot point because when people say "there were no Ancient Greek female philosophers" what they're actually saying is "women were mistreated in the past, the way we treat them now is better, we do this because Liberalism, so you're a bad person if you disagree with Liberalism". If you were to argue that women WEREN'T mistreated in the past, you're arguing that Liberalism is unnecessary (at minimum) or even outright immoral (at maximum).

Which is, on its face, silly, because if there were no female philosophers, what did they do all day? Barred from sports, philosophy, politics, business... actually, we know they did all three things. Sports is another fun one, as we have attestations of female athleticism (Septimus Severus actually imported an enormous number of Greek athletesses to replace the bloodsports of the colosseum, who we are told continued traditional Greek female athletics since times immemorial) at various points in Greek history.

So, what does it accomplish to say "50% of the population were just magically 'oppressed', whatever that means, until our ideology came along"? Why, it reinforces the necessity of the ideology. After all, BAD THING was done to women before Liberalism, only a bad person would want BAD THING to happen!

Whig History is the calcification of history because it demands history be calcifiable. The myth of progress also expands our view of the past backwards. Half of progress is shining a light in the dark corners of history and finding The Truth of what happened. This REQUIRES history be calcified, as it requires there to be a firm "the past" that we can look at and hold in our hands. It requires you to be able to have a bucket of "the past".

Another thing that the Myth of Progress requires is things to be shit in the past. That's the entire point of progress: an eternal progression. Things are always getting better, forever. Big line always goes up. Why would Whig Historians want to find out that things were good in the past? That would go completely contrary to Whig History. Yesterday was shit, today is better, tomorrow will be even better. Finding out that women had it good (or even worse, BETTER than they do today!) would fly completely contrary to the narratives of Whig History because that would mean that the past wasn't bad. The past being bad and the future being good is the entire point of Whig history.

You can not take modern day femininity at face value. It is a distorted and poisoned femininity, not what it is meant to or could be. I agree that it does look like females are inferior and need crutches at every turn, but that is only the case because humanity has decided that women can not be women, they have to try to be men and ofc they will fail horribly at that and won‘t be able to get to the level of actual men. But that‘s like saying that birds are inferior to fish because they drown when they have to dive for long periods of time and that they are weak for needing oxygen tanks to be able to even get somewhat near the vicinity of the fish‘s ability to swim unter water. Instead of forcing birds to swim underwater one should let them fly in the sky and instead of trying to evaluate what is more majestic, one could marvel at both and enjoy their differences. Because fish would also die if they were forced to fly without aid. None of them is superior or inferior, they are just different. But it is hard to see how that applies to men and women since humanity has never had a phase where we did not try to force women to be men or vice versa. There‘s no reference for how it would be if women were encouraged to be women and men would be encouraged to be men.

You really don‘t go far enough. Ofc women should focus on tending to their families and communities. Ofc women shouldn‘t be involved in politics because their feminine traits will interfere in those areas. But that is all part of trying to force women to become men. Also studying stem. It is not female nature to do that. In order to do so a woman will have to do a lot of mental gymnastics and even then it isn‘t going very well.
I also never said that it was men forcing women to become men. It could very well be women forcing themselves led by some very poisoned females.

>disciplines where women thrive
such as?
>Is empathy meaningless? Is tenderness? Is being perceptive and accepting? Is compassion and intimacy?
ah yes, good old infanticide due to psot-partum ""depression"", idk why but women seem to me much more sociopathic than men but i really don't know why
>not every man on this planet succeeds in those inherently male areas
no obviously the point is in relation to women

Again, things like ppd aren‘t human nature. They are a symptom of the poison. Ppd is what happens when a woman‘s femininity clashes head on with her trying to go back to „trying to be a man“ after nature has forced her back into her feminine nature by pregnancy and child birth.
Yes, so? Not every woman is capable of cleaning out the filth of the world to uncover the pure and innocent femininity beneath it just as not every man is capable of doing the same with his masculinity.

Spartan women had it good. All the property, gold and spoils of war. Fit warrior husbands and a training regime for themselves so they don't get fat and kill themselves at 40 with a bottle of wine and a handful of pills.

Alright but what are these inherent female traits of such value that women of former had and present lack? I agree with you but I myself don't really have a pin on more than a few, like the raising and nurturing of children.

I too struggle to put it in words. I‘d say the feminine aspect they would bring to this world would balance out the assertive And valiant power of masculinity. So tender, empathic, accepting, intimate, compassionate, pure, innocent, joyful, selfless, things like this.
In my theory, if there is unchecked masculinity running wild in the world, humanity is suffering. If there‘s unchecked femininity running wild, life will be pain too. We need each other to find a sane balance. As long as humans can not do this, the world will be hell.

you don't acknowledge that the following is possible
>women have it "better" today in the sense of more physical opportunities (better in an objective sense is arguable however, you could argue women aren't cut out for the societal responsibilities of a man, don't really know what they want and have bitten off more than they can chew, womens lib was in fact a massive farce)
>our "classic liberal" conception of history is the closest we'll get to correct
>modern liberalist thinkers "big line go up" types have still gone too far and are incorrect in their re-imagining of history along post-social justice nu-academia thinking
>just because they demonize you doesn't make you bad
your reasoning is childish and relies on false dichotomies

but do you imply that these are inherently female traits? I would agree that these are things that are forbode in the modern world in it's endless pursuit of vanity, but these are all absolute goods that I would expect and want in women and men alike. Maybe that's just because I'm gay or something.

No i completely agree, those are traits men ideally would also have. Just like there are no inherent masculine traits that a woman wouldn‘t also benefit from having. Bravery and logic for example, strike me as more masculine, yet it‘s definitely not wrong for a woman to also be brave and able to think logical. But the whole point is that each gender has things they would be naturally better at in an ideal world and thus we could help each other develop those traits that do not come AS natural to us.
Ofc there are women who are more assertive than some men and ofc there are men who are more tender than some women. It‘s not as black and white, but in order to be able to talk about it one has to draw a few lines or it would become too complicated for a /lit/ discussion.
