Helga Kuhse and Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek are both academic utilitarian philosophers and were probably more independently established than Dawn (e.g. tenure), so both the expectations and the power dynamics could have been pretty different.
The difference is also consistent with the newspaper context—a generalist newspaper reader is likely to decide whether to read an newspaper article in a few seconds max, and “world-famous prof you’ve probably heard of at a top institution is lead author” plausibly helps.
The distinction between philosophers and animal activists might be relevant. For instance, his name was also listed last on a 2007 book he co-edited with two woman philosophers (Lori Gruen and Laura Grabel). In contrast, he was listed first on a 2006 book he co-authored with animal activist Jim Mason (a man). But the claim that he “appropriates” people’s voices is unsubstantiated, never mind the stronger claim that he appropriates some people’s voices simply because they are women.
Doesn’t Dawn’s own case substantiate the claim that he “appropriated” people’s voices, or something similar, like “used their voices without giving fair credit”?
Did anyone claim he appropriated women’s voices simply because they are women?
