244. Stoicism is not a "manly" philosophy
from Stoic Meditations · host Massimo Pigliucci
We hear a lot of nonsense about Stoicism being tough and therefore only for men. But Seneca clearly explains that virtue doesn't make us invulnerable to pain and suffering, and that women are just as capable as men to become virtuous. Go figure.
