Nancy Hartsock wrote one of the foundational texts of standpoint epistemology - feminist standpoint theory. Would she be classed as a "Terf", I wonder, and should there be campaigns for the exclusion of her work from the Academy? Let's see.
Okay, I think that's enough to demonstrate that Hartsock should be considered at the very least "Terf-adjacent", and that her work should be verboten in the wokiest of philosophy departments. Trigger warnings, that's what it needs! You're welcome.

I don't think she could write this today without a significant backlash. That's the point. Do you?

Also, tangentially, it gets bloody close to misandry (in my view), which is interesting because it's not treated in the same way that an explicitly misogynistic theory would be treated.
-
The acceptance of misogyny in the work of philosophers hasn't really been a problem in philosophy has it? Gee wonder why. Can't imagine why.

Lauren, the points you're making are obvious, you don't need to make them explicit. I'm aware that philosophy has a terrible history with regards to misogyny (Aristotle, j'accuse!).
