This magister's thesis explores the phenomenon of women's objectification within the context of the Gender Gap and Women's Underrepresentation in Anglo-American Analytical philosophical institutional environments. However, this approach goes beyond the Anglo-American philosophy, incorporating the "European-Continental" with the last thematizing this problem differently, which means historically. Unfolding Carol Bacchi's WPR method, Virginia Braun's, and Victoria Clarke's thematic analysis and thinking on feminist theoretical-philosophical accounts of objectification, I aim to critically analyze the proposed solutions in the literature, illuminating the root causes of that underrepresentation. And thus, this exploration leads to the differential vocation, with its gender, essential, and action implications.
