I read Friedan and part of Beauvoir out of “need to grok female viewpoint” motive in my early 20s. Not strong enough a motive to get far. Renewed interest now is narrower and not about women so much as temporality where women thinkers seem to have had unusual amount to say.

Yeah, that's a definite concern, but otoh I do want to pay attention to the sources of apparent differences I see in how I think about stuff and how some women writers seem to. I'm not pre-committed to either there being differences or no differences.

It's not apparent in all topics. For example, there is nothing notably gendered about the difference between Conan Doyle and Christie in mysteries. But there does seem to be when it comes to some philosophy topics. Maybe it's illusory, maybe not.
