ABSTRACT
This chapter is inspired by the roundtable discussion at the International Colloquium on 'Marginalization in African Philosophy: Women and the Environment' hosted by the University of Calabar, Nigeria in collaboration with the University of Johannesburg, South Africa in partnership with the Conversational School of Philosophy. This chapter looks at the question of women's marginalization generally. It could be, Saul ('Implicit Bias, Stereotype Threat and Women') argues, that women just don't like the sorts of reasoning philosophers engage in or the sorts of problems philosophers discuss, either as a result of their innate nature or as a result of their socialization. The chapter explains why the restructuring and decolonization of the curricula of philosophy program in African universities are desiderata. It is only such a restructuring that would invest relevance to African philosophy, and ultimately eliminate philosophy's dominance by an 'aristocracy of sex'.
