Okay, so we've got a sexual division of labor - but what is it that women produce with their labor? Well, partly, like men, they contribute to subsistence, but... oh dear,pic.twitter.com/s2iF9AaZeT
I didn't get to where I am today - nowhere, obviously - by tweeting.

Women as mothers... just how significant can that be, right? Turns out Hartsock likes a bit of object relations theory (and you're totally going to need a trigger warning for this):pic.twitter.com/owxmXUDGUj
Hartsock now goes a bit bonkers with the psychoanalysis, but basically argues that girls end up with more empathy, and are more connected to others, less dependent on an idealized conception than boys (concrete femininity versus idealized masculinity), etc.
Regardless of the whole "terf" thing, this stuff is really dodgy actually. Way too essentialist, and bordering on misandry, I reckon. But I digress. This'll give you a sense of the "cisnormative" (I know all the lingo) character of the argument:pic.twitter.com/qmoIMOcgLF
Later on Hartsock riffs on Bataille, and the centrality of biology, and the psychodynamic interplay the occurs as a result, is absolutely explicit. She's talking about the male experience of reproduction. (This stuff is fairly batty.)pic.twitter.com/ntQLI6IIFh
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!).
