Reason’s dominator identity is master, not masculinity alone

Evidence

Much feminist theory has detected a masculine presence in the officially gender-neutral concept of reason. In contrast, my account suggests that it is not a masculine identity pure and simple, but the multiple, complex cultural identity of the master formed in the context of class, race species and gender domination, which is at issue. — Val Plumwood, Feminism and the Mastery of Nature, 46
