(Context: writing this damn essay - someone said something funny in one of the zillion books I'm reading about an easy response to some misogynistic social contract theories - just "add women and stir", that is to say, the misogyny isn't inherent in the theory, it's just a sign of the times, snip it out. FWIW, you can't add women and stir to make Rousseau less of an asshole.)
