Enlightenment was still a very masculine enterprise, and it represented, as the previous leading philosophy did, mostly the views of men. Women might have been critical of Enlightenment because they felt that it does not represent the whole population, but only the views of the male population.
The Tories were a political faction and then a political party in the parliaments of England, Scotland, Great Britain, Ireland and the United Kingdom. Between the 1670s and 1830s, the Tories contested power with their rivals, the Whigs.
