Woman as Caretaker: An Archetype That Supports Patriarchal Militarism
Hypatia 9 (2):123 - 133 (1994)
Abstract
Feminist peace theories that find hope for peace in the ideal of the caretaking woman are grounded in patriarchal gender distinctions, fail to challenge adequately the patriarchal dualism that constitutes the self by devaluing the other, and the practice of caretaking about which they speak may be easily co-opted into the service of war. Feminist peace theory should address the devaluation of "others," in order to undermine this justification and motivation for war.My notes
