As a philosopher (by experience, not by training), I sometimes pick up on the little insights that lead to greater truths. A woman I read about in a Dutch newspaper complained how, for fifty years, men have supposedly regarded women in business as “insane, tiresome, and garish”. Did you catch the little trick she played there?
I did. When I first read that interview, it was instantly clear to me that many women in business had actually been behaving in an insane, tiresome or garish manner — like an uncultured child — and that it had taken career women fifty-some years to improve their behavior.
