I think it's funny that philosophy has a hard-on for Irigaray now.

Really? When did this happen?

I'm being hyperbolic, but what I mean is institutionalized Continental philosophy on the east coast. Seriously! I don't know precisely when but she's on the recommended reading list for my Plato class, one of the three thinkers in a class on difference at another university (the others being Derrida and Deleuze), etc etc. It's weird!

I'll be damned.

Also, I gotta say that your turn of phrase saying that philosophy has a “hard-on” for Irigaray made me laugh out loud.

I'm glad you caught the irony ;)

Now a hard-on for Hélène Cixous, that I could understand ...

Hasn't pohilosophy always had a bit of a hard-on for Irigaray?
