Somos víboras, cerdas, hijas de perra, gatas en celo o incluso "más putas que las gallinas". Son muchos los insultos machistas y, curiosamente, muchos están relacionados con el mundo animal.

El libro que el lector tiene entre sus manos apuesta por un cambio de rumbo en la Filosofía, menos pendiente de los propios juegos especulativos y más atenta a la crítica y a la reflexión social posicionada...
