Prejudicial Speech
This paper discusses potential responses to harmful prejudicial speech. More specifically, it considers how different types of prejudicial speech merit different responses. The paper distinguishes hate speech, discriminatory speech, and toxic speech as different types of speech that are prejudicial or oppressive – they are not of the same kind diverging only in their severity and explicitness. As these sorts of problematic speech are categorially…
Metaphysics
This chapter introduces some central issues and themes in feminist philosophical engagements with metaphysics. It provides an outline of what feminist metaphysics typically deals with and how to understand what this putative sub-discipline of metaphysics aims to achieve. One issue that has been increasingly discussed is whether feminist and “mainstream” metaphysics are compatible. The paper considers this question and examines whether one promine…
Just Words
This relatively short book has a powerful message. It identifies an overlooked way in which ordinary speech by ordinary speakers under ordinary circumstances constitutes harm in virtue of enacting harmful norms. Mary Kate McGowan starts the book with the following examples to illustrate. An offhand sexist remark about sexual conquests at work oppresses women without the speaker intending to oppress and without their awareness of doing so. A white…
Gender Essentialism and Anti-Essentialism
It is a widely accepted feminist claim that gender injustice is not incidental and individual, but systematic and structural - it targets women as women. Feminism thus seemingly lends itself to identity politics: a form of political mobilization based on membership in women's social kind, where shared experiences or traits delimit kind membership. Essentialism may be characterized as the thesis that some of an entity's properties are necessary to…
The Wrong of Injustice
The book examines contemporary structural social injustices from a distinctly feminist perspective. It asks: what makes social group based oppression, discrimination, and domination wrongful? And what grounds the wrongfulness of patriarchal damage done to women? In thinking about these normative issues, the book puts forward two related views. First, it argues for a paradigm shift in focus away from feminist philosophy that is organized around th…
Feminist Metaphysics and Philosophical Methodology
Over the past few decades, feminist philosophy has become recognised as a philosophical sub-discipline in its own right. Among the 'core' areas of philosophy, metaphysics has nonetheless until relatively recently remained largely dismissive of it. Metaphysics typically investigates the basic structure of reality and its nature. It examines reality's putative building blocks and inherent structure supposedly 'out there' with the view to uncovering…
Doing Ontology and Doing Justice
Feminist philosophy has recently become recognised as a self-standing philosophical sub-discipline. Still, metaphysics has remained largely dismissive of feminist insights. Here I make the case for the value of feminist insights in metaphysics: taking them seriously makes a difference to our ontological theory choice and feminist philosophy can provide helpful methodological tools to regiment ontological theories. My examination goes as follows. …
Der Begriff der Entmenschlichung und seine Rolle in der feministischen Philosophie
Kant On Moral Agency and Women's Nature
Some commentators have condemned Kant's moral project from a feminist perspective based on Kant's apparently dim view of women as being innately morally deficient. Here I will argue that although his remarks concerning women are unsettling at first glance, a more detailed and closer examination shows that Kant's view of women is actually far more complex and less unsettling than that attributed to him by various feminist critics. My argument, the…

Gender sceptics and feminist politics
Elizabeth Spelman, Gender Realism, and Women
Elizabeth Spelman has famously argued against gender realism (the view that women have some feature in common that makes them women). By and large, feminist philosophers have embraced Spelman's arguments and deemed gender realist positions counterproductive. To the contrary, Mikkola shows that Spelman's arguments do not in actual fact give good reason to reject gender realism in general. She then suggests a way to understand gender realism that d…
