About this video
What if the mind had no gender—only the world did? This video explores a foundational feminist argument rooted in John Locke’s empiricism and his rejection of innate ideas. If all knowledge arises from experience, and the mind begins as a blank slate, then the differences between men and women must stem not from nature but from nurture. The argument follows: if the external world—education, opportunity, social conditioning—were made equal, then the internal life of thought, ambition, and capability would also reflect that equality. A philosophical take on feminism grounded in classical epistemology.
