In the following essay, Tress defends Aristotle's Generation of Animals against comments voiced by feminist critics, stressing that Aristotle observes that both male and female are the "principles of generation." Tress further maintains that the apparent inequality of the sexes in Aristotle's theories stems not from misogynistic or sexist views, but from specific philosophical problems that Aristotle treats.
