Feminism:
Laura Word, A Few Words on the Women's Franchise
Women promoting the welfare state, collectivism, and the restruction of legitimate liberties because of emotion, or some supposed "ethics of care." Such compassion serves its role in their work in their network of family, friends, and local community, but it is dangerous when applied to political deliberation. The male mind is better suited to considerations of justice, the apportioning of responsibility and obligation. Additionally, if we understand that part of communal life as men cooperating for the sake of the well-being of the group, then the presence of women cannot be but disruptive and a hindrance.
