When I wrote about the female philosopher Hannah Arendt (her term: the banality of evil - actually a biographical movie starts in the US-cinemas) the readers of my blog flickrcomments on wordpress asked: "Why are there so few female philosophers in the world?" I replied: "Women might forgive too quickly. Henry David Thoreau once said, the most important thing is consistency and sincerity." And kindly Rita Banerji herself joined the dispute and commented: "I think it may be something like cooking and why most men are chefs. More women than men cook. But when a man wears a hat and calls it a profession, he's called a cook! I think women by nature tend to philosophize more about everything. Men go to war. Women talk peace. That is philosophy..." I have to add: Rita Banerji IS a female philosopher. Let her talk in the United Nations about her project, to change the disregard vs. women in India (and other countries)!
