What about Nietzsche's Preface to Beyond Good and Evil?  

"Suppose Truth is a woman, what then?"

Talk about thinking the feminine questionably!  A
questioning 
that questions back the questioner, and leaves him with no
basis 
for an answer.  Only the possibility of thinking the Other. 
But 
of course the Other can't be thought without making her the 
same.  Reminds me of Heidegger,

The most thought provoking thought is we have yet to think!
