Abstract
This paper defends the thesis that women suffer from argumentative injustice and critically examines two ideas that prevent women's arguments from being properly evaluated: 1. The idealization of abstract ways of understanding the nature of arguments that disregard the social identities of the arguers. 2. The thesis that women's arguments contain elements that degrade their quality. Finally, it is concluded that argumentation, as a social practice, is influenced by power relations that cannot be ignored when examining arguments. Furthermore, it is likely that criticisms of the ways in which women argue stem from the fact that they are women, rather than inherent features of their arguments.
