Both Love And Democracy Depend

Everything About Women Is In Perpetual Crisis.

While An Ethic Of Justice Proceeds From The Premise Of Equality—that Everyone Should Be Treated The Same—an Ethic Of Care Rests On The Premise Of Nonviolence—that No One Should Be Hurt.

Women Have Traditionally Deferred To The Judgment Of Men Although Often While Intimating A Sensibility Of Their Own Which Is At Variance With That Judgment.

In The Different Voice Of Women Lies The Truth Of An Ethic Of Care, The Tie Between Relationship And Responsibility, And The Origins Of Aggression In The Failure Of Connection.

My Research Suggests That Men And Women May Speak Different Languages That They Assume Are The Same, Using Similar Words To Encode Disparate Experiences Of Self And Social Relationships. Because These Languages Share An Overlapping Moral Vocabulary, They Contain A Propensity For Systematic Mistranslation.
