- As another teaser, have you ever wondered why the "feminist philosophers"
- all seem to have a certain political perspective -- as though this
- somehow is a part of the essential nature of feminism or feminist
- philosophy? If you want to get a job as a "feminist philosopher" you
- not only have to teach "feminist issues", but you have to teach them
- in a certain *way*, from a certain point of view. Any feminist
- philosophers out there who are Ayn Rand followers? Any feminist
- philosophers who would, under any objective criterion, be considered
