LECTURE

What is Gilligan’s criticism of Kohlberg and Erikson?

According to Gilligan, how do the moral judgments typically made by women differ from those made by men?

Why is this?

“Within a patriarchal framework, care is a feminine ethic; within a democratic framework, care is a human ethic.”

What does Gilligan mean by this claim?

In support of her thesis she shows how boys and girls are treated differently by parents and by society until the structures of patriarchy become internalized.

Give an example in support of her argument.
