Philosopher Kathleen Stock (Sussex) on "academic feminist philosophy"

She writes:

The problem with academic feminist philosophy is that it’s run like a fiefdom, not like a normal open philosophical discussion. There are things you are just not allowed to say, and people you are not allowed to offend. Quality suffers, and to rest of world, it shows.

There are a lot of "fiefdoms" in academic philosophy, but many currents of feminist philosophy are striking for how much they have in common with many older currents of "Marxist philosophy," where alleged moral purity and real ideological conformity counted more than anything else.
