I believe that this is not the case. There are examples of women philosophers who have received the widest recognition. For example, Ayn Rand (Russian, by the way), the founder of objectivism, had a major impact on the balance of power in the discussion of capitalism vs socialism. Her books are still selling well, and her name is very well known. �
Of course, there are few such examples, but only because fewer women choose the path of philosophy than in any other scientific field.
I think because a woman is a subordinate being and in general, historically, is used to the fact that in most cases a man thinks and decides for her. And the man, on the contrary, was the ultimate authority designed to learn, explain and subdue this world.
It was he who most often thought about how this world works, what these or other manifestations of it come from: why – the sun shines, water runs, fire burns, what is behind the clouds, whether there is a god, and so on.
Naturally, such active mental activity and constant attempts to understand, attempts to ask the right questions and find the right answers to them, and led to the fact that the most significant philosophers – people who show a love of wisdom and became men.
