I just can't take female authors seriously. It's like they lack a certain depth of thought. I might well be wrong, I wish I was and in public would certainly say something else. Arendt and Anscombe are the only ones that spring to mind (to prove myself wrong). I have promised myself to take up Plath and Weil tho.
