From the wiki page<\/a> (yes, the depths of my research will quite possibly leave you in awe):<\/p>\n

The\u00a0ethics of care<\/strong>\u00a0is a normative\u00a0ethical theory; that is, a theory about what makes actions right or wrong. It is one of a cluster of normative ethical theories that were developed by\u00a0feminists\u00a0in the second half of the twentieth century. While\u00a0consequentialist\u00a0and\u00a0deontological\u00a0ethical theories emphasize universal standards and impartiality, ethics of care emphasize the importance of relationships.<\/p>\n

The basic beliefs of the theory are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All individuals are interdependent for achieving their interests<\/li>\n
  2. Those particularly vulnerable to our choices and their outcomes deserve extra consideration to be measured according to\n
      \n
    1. the level of their vulnerability to one’s choices<\/li>\n
    2. the level of their affectedness by one’s choices and no one else’s<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. It is necessary to attend to the contextual details of the situation in order to safeguard and promote the actual specific interests of those involved<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I\u2019ve been reading Maria Lugones<\/a>\u2019 theories on gender and colonialism lately. I am starting to fall in love with her work because of several personal reasons, and I guess our common ethnic\/birth\/cultural\/social background plays a big role here. Anyway, one thing led to the other and I found myself pondering on what an \u201cethics of feminism\u201d would look like, which is what eventually led me to find the \u201cethics of care\u201d quoted above. Now, I haven\u2019t read much on the subject so this is going to be a very superficial and partial list of mostly disconnected thoughts.<\/p>\n

      So, in the context of an \u201cethics of feminism\u201d, and the quote above about \u201cethics of care\u201d, I realized how this would be a flawed approach for the praxis of my kind of feminism. Because invariably, without fail, we have to deal with tribalism in this context. When these ethics postulate that \u201call individuals are interdependent\u201d, I necessarily have to ask \u201cWho is the \u201call\u201d we are referring to here?\u201d. Because obviously in a situation like the Schwyzer-gate, there is absolutely no inclusion of \u201call\u201d, moreover, purposefully, this \u201call\u201d is defined as a narrow, exclusionary group that indeed, works together (or remains silent together, as is the case) to help the group achieve their interests. And the same tribalist dynamics actively exclude \u201csome\u201d who will never be able to achieve their interests.<\/p>\n
