AbstractIn this article, I argue that we need to reconsider some of the stylistic principles that (explicitly or
implicitly) govern writing in analytic philosophy. I suggest that the rules are (i) much more difficult to
justify than might be thought at first sight; and (ii) may possibly be gendered, given what we know
about the reading preferences and writing styles of men and women.
