As a male scholar in history and philosophy of science who is interested in gender and science, I was honored to invite Prof. Sandra Harding to visit Taiwan for the first time about 25 years ago for lectures and panel discussions. Prof. Harding then offered us a somewhat provocative panel subject, “Can a man be the subject of feminist thinking?”, which made me and some other interested male intellectuals pause and think. The title of her first lecture in Taiwan 1999 was a substantive one: “Feminist Science Studies in a Multicultural and Post-colonial world.”
