| Maternalism | MacKinnon | Gaus I 282 Maternalism/MacKinnon/Nussbaum/Mottier: Maternal thinking has been the object of violent disagreements within feminist theory. >Maternalism/Political philosophy. MacKinnonVsMaternalism: [Catharine] MacKinnon (1989(1)), for example, rejects its basic premise, arguing that women's caring 'instincts' are in fact the consequences of the socialization of women into their subordinate roles, and serve to sustain male domination. Martha Nussbaum, while sympathetic to the emphasis on care and the possible role of trust and understanding in our lives, warns that 'women are often valued as creatures of care and sympathy. Often they are devalued for the same characteristics' (1999(2): 13). >Maternalism/Dietz. 1. MacKinnon, Catharine (1989) Toward a Feminist Theory of the State. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press. 2. Nussbaum, Martha (1999) Sex and Social Justice. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
