Why is it that so many men who fancy themselves to be 'consumers of philosophy' are instead narcissistic, misogynistic assholes with compulsive sexual needs?
I know there are a lot of philosophy nerds here (forgive my euphemism), so this is not a universal observation, just one that I have gathered through strictly empirical observation.
There seems to be a tendency amongst some of those that I've had the misfortune to come in contact with to cover their self-indulgence with a glean of philosophical authority. Anyone else ever observe this?
