Talk:Ruth Barcan Marcus

Sexism
Hmmm......I often wonder whether sexism has something to do with the fact that Marcus extraordinary work is so throughougly minimized and she is largely undiscussed in the the halls of academic analytic philosophy. We all know that Kripke and other males did the REAL thinking after all. No??? (0; --Lacatosias 15:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're on about (or were on about four years ago), you can't read any (decent) text on modal logic without mention of the Barcan formula. Careful with that axe, Eugene. BrideOfKripkenstein (talk) 02:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)


 * lacatosias, a few points;


 * 1. You presume gender is an issue for everyone within the halls of academe. It is not.


 * 2. You presume Marcus' work was not marginal. I do not know. I found her while studying Computer Science.


 * 3. You presume her (lack of) noteriety to be somehow bound to her gender. Highly improbable either way.


 * 4. You have introduced bigotry into an academic article. Oh for shame!. You have victimized Marcus by way of your bigotry.


 * 5. We are Men and Women, you know, People. Referring to people as 'males and females' is callous (rude) and pedantic.


 * 6. NPOV.


 * 7. 'extraordinary work', 'thoroughly minimized', 'largely undiscussed' ; all of this is rhetorical.
