Gilligan says that, as a result of different socialization, many women use the Care Perspective to make moral decisions, whereas many men use the Justice Tradition to make moral decisions. Earlier in the course, I pointed out that Locke has been criticized for advocating a stereotypically masculine moral theory that ignores half of human experience and needs. That of the male sex should be a noble virtue .
Woman is intolerant of all commands and all morose constraint.
They do something only because it pleases them, and the art consists of making that please them which is good. I hardly believe that the fair sex is capable of principles, and I hope by that not to offend, for these are also extremely rare in the male. Locke s account of the morality of family relations seldom mentions emotion. He says that parents are obligated to care for and educate the children they conceive. Also, he says that children owe their parents a debt of gratitude for the benefits that their parents have given them and that children are obligated to honor and support their parents.
