<span style="color:black">In the so-called first wave of <i>Republic </i>5, Socrates argues that men and women in the guardian class will share everything in common. As I will show, the argument contains two distinct and equally necessary steps. If guardian
men and women ought to share every activity in common, this requires that 1. there are no activities that are the purview of women <i>qua </i>women and from which men ought to be excluded and 2. there are no activities that are the purview of men <i>qua </i>men
and from which women ought to be excluded. Socrates’ claim at 455c5-d2 demonstrates the first half of the thesis by appealing to experience: in <i>all</i> activities pertaining the <i>polis </i>we have empirical proof that<i> </i>men as a sex excel over women,
hence there are no activities that are the exclusive purview of women. The interaction between Socrates and Glaucon demonstrates the second half of the claim, once again based on induction: in many fields – which ought to include the management of the city
–<i> </i>many individual women are better than many men: this shows that, in principle, women’s nature <i>qua </i>women is not an obstacle to their acquiring the same virtues and taking up the same activities as men, hence there is no activity that is the
purview of men <i>qua </i>men. Furthermore, I will argue that the first wave’s argument comprises the following set of claims: i. As far as the administration of the city is concerned, natural vocations are judged first and foremost based on features that
pertain to the soul; ii. The soul has no sex, hence at the level of the soul it makes no sense to speak of male or female superiority; iii. The soul, however, is embodied; iv. Bodies are differentiated by sex and women’s bodies are weaker and more prone to
disease; v. Bodies are the tools of <i>dianoia</i> and weaker bodies are, therefore, weaker tools and can even become a hindrance; vi. This determines the inferiority of the female sex, insofar as its members are embodied souls. On this reading, female bodies
would not be an intractable hindrance, but they would still represent a comparative disadvantage. This comparative disadvantage of the female sex as a whole, however, does not rule out that on an individual level women qualify among the top positions.</span><span style="color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
