.
Keywords:
Philosophers, Gender, SexualityAbstract
First, and most basic philosophical question about sex-difference is, certainly the question whether there is something which may be called women's nature. A very widespread view is that all human beings &fe essentially the same, with women as having a sub-nature among the human beings. But the view that the distinctive social and historical experiences of women have made them fundamentally different from men is also gaining ground.
