Thank you for your thoughtful post, first of all!

I agree with your understanding of Fricker’s definition of hermeneutical injustice, namely that it is an exclusion from the shared “collective resources” that make sense of our lived experience.

However, I wonder why you think that Marie’s experience with the police officers does not extend to that definition of hermeneutical injustice you provided. It seems to me that testimonial and hermeneutical injustice are not contradictory. The line (or distinction) is not entirely clear to me.

The fact that she is not believed as a woman suggests that women perhaps are hermeneutically marginalized. In other words, they are not given the same access to justice as men, or others do. Let me know. I am no scholar in Fricker and have only briefly read her work in the past.

I would be glad to edit my original post.

Thanks again!
