Yesterday, I phoned a man in Amsterdam because I had read on the internet he was looking for people to write little theatre plays for children about philosophical issues.

It was a nice talk. But he told me: the institution he works for was making an alphabet of philosophers for children. The book was almost ready, but then protests came, because all 26 philosophers were men. Alright, it wouldn't be my issue, but it's the times we live in, so put in a few women, I'd say - but now they are demanded to make 13 of the 26 philosophers women! Madness - and then philosophers, I think it will be easier to find 13 female politicians or warriors or STEM heroes - the only philosophers that come to my mind are Hannah Arendt and Simone de Beauvoir.

Aristotle had become impossible anyway, because there had been an article in a liberal paper 'We don't need Aristotle today', apparently because he had deplorable opinions about women. I mean - do you expect a thinker of more than 2000 years ago to admit that gender is a social construct, or any other politically correct statement? And then one of the most important thinkers of Western culture. Don't think you can dodge feminism, wherever you go or whatever you plan to do, it is everywhere and it is normalized.
