What are the dangers of supposing that there is a special ethics for women?
Well until recently we have just now been adding women's voices to ethical concerns in our society. Instead of calling it women's ethics they decided to call it care ethics (Waller. 2008 pg. 121). Care ethics is more focused on the personal details and relationship importance as well as the affection and care we give to others. There is always a danger when you give special rights to anyone. Giving women special ethics can cause the delicate balance of our society to crumble. Whenever you give someone special attention you cause someone to feel left out and this can lead to anger and/or social disasters. In general people like to feel they are equal and when this isn't the case there will always be some consequences.
