2. Impossible to fully understand the Strauss without grasping that his pedagogy existed in the zone between the homosocial & the homoerotic
@KathaPollitt Problem (from Plato/Strauss pov) is women want to have babies: so constrained by nature. Can't fully philosophize.

@HeerJeet not all women want babies, and many men do! GEM Anscombe had a dozen kids and she philosophized plenty. -
@KathaPollitt Well, I wouldn't say the Plato/Strauss position is one that has any empirical validity to it.

@HeerJeet why does wanting babies constrain by nature in a way that wanting sex does not? Maybe they were just gay, like Allan Bloom. -
@KathaPollitt Some of them were just gay like Bloom but the milieu itself (I spent some time with Straussians) distinctly homosocial.
