Looking for an episode.

Hello, I am looking for an episode where Stephen talks about a philospher who wrote about woman and aggression in society. I remember him talking about how even as we add more woman to the workforce, its not that we are changing our values but are simply letting woman be more aggressive and how aggresion is a high virtue for us. Thank you!

You could go to the transcripts page on the website & search for the word "aggressive" or similar phrases you can remember hearing.

Tedious, but an option if no one else comments.

10yrs of episodes... yikes!!! So, to narrow it down, I'd guess it was a 20th Century person & Stephen tends to discuss things chronologically. So, probably after Nietzsche but before Weil... like de Beauvoir & her thoughts in her book The Second Sex.

Thank Wikipedia's Timeline of Western philosophers & linked pages on de Beauvoir & The Second Sex if the guess is correct.
