Why No Women in Stoicism? | No Nonsense Spirituality

Stoicism is increasing in popular especially due to advocates like Ryan Holiday. But women are not gravitating towards stoicism in the same ways. This video discusses the highlights of stoicism and offers a feminine perspective on ways that it does or does not integrate to the lives of women.

In this video, you’ll explore why Stoicism, despite its timeless wisdom, doesn't resonate as much with women today. You’ll learn about the core tenets like emotional regulation, control, and independence, but also how they miss the mark on values women often prioritize, like empathy and interdependence. As you dive into this analysis, you'll see why Stoicism's focus on rationality and autonomy can clash with the realities of parenting and community-building. The discussion also highlights how adding more "yin" to Stoicism, like embracing vulnerability and intuitive wisdom, can create a more balanced life philosophy. By the end, you’ll understand how to apply Stoic teachings in a way that honors both masculine and feminine strengths.
