I have recently encountered a rather elegant accusation of Rousseau's excluding women of his social equality cause and if anywhere implied in The Social contract I have obviously ignored it in reading the work.../ I suspect my motivation of reading it was somehow low, being exposed to constant threats/..Double standarts in Rousseau?...If indeed a part of his works, could the condescending attitude towards women be overlooked in Rousseau only for his well-built "masculine" social contract? How far does it depreciate the other efforts of the author, if in this case an appreciation is relevant at all? I welcome any information and comments...
