ÔÇ£But I didnÔÇÖt and still donÔÇÖt like making a cult of womenÔÇÖs knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men donÔÇÖt know, womenÔÇÖs deep irrational wisdom, womenÔÇÖs instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior ÔÇô womenÔÇÖs knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?ÔÇØ

It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
