Confronting Evils
In this contribution to philosophical ethics, Claudia Card revisits the theory of evil developed in her earlier book The Atrocity Paradigm (2002), and expands it to consider collectively perpetrated and collectively suffered atrocities. Redefining evil as a secular concept and focusing on the inexcusability - rather than the culpability - of atrocities, Card examines the tension between responding to evils and preserving humanitarian values. This…
Gay Divorce
Although the exclusion of LGBTs from the rites and rights of marriage is arbitrary and unjust, the legal institution of marriage is itself so riddled with injustice that it would be better to create alternative forms of durable intimate partnership that do not invoke the power of the state. Card's essay develops a case for this position, taking up an injustice sufficiently serious to constitute an evil: the sheltering of domestic violence.

Beauvoir's Time/Our Time
SINCE THE EARLY SECOND WAVE, Simone de Beauvoir and her work have provided something of a Rorschach test for feminist theory, with dif ferent generations and genres of feminism each projecting their own pre occupations upon her. First hailed as Mother of Us All and as the author of the so-called Bible of Second Wave feminism, she was mainly treated in the 1970s as an icon or held up as an ideal. But although in the 1970s many feminists found pers…
Environmental Atrocities and Non-Sentient Life
Environmental Atrocities and Non-Sentient Life Claudia Card (bio) Environmental Atrocities and Non-Sentient Life 1. To Whom (or to What) Can Evils Be Done? Mention of environmental atrocities calls to mind such catastrophes as major oil spills, which ruin the fishing (not to mention the fish) for extended periods. Such carelessness is not simply a disaster to human projects. It destroys or endangers species and ecosystems as well as individual or…

Genocide and Social Death
Social death, central to the evil of genocide (whether the genocide is homicidal or primarily cultural), distinguishes genocide from other mass murders. Loss of social vitality is loss of identity and thereby of meaning for one's existence. Seeing social death at the center of genocide takes our focus off body counts and loss of individual talents, directing us instead to mourn losses of relationships that create community and give meaning to the…
Questions Regarding a War on Terrorism
The concept of a war on terrorism creates havoc with attempts to apply rules of war. For “terrorism” is not an agent. Nor is it clear what relationship to terrorism agents must have in order to be legitimate targets. Nor is it clear what kinds of terrorism count. Would a war on terrorism in the home be a justifiable response to domestic battering? If not, do similar objections apply to a war on public terrorism

The Atrocity Paradigm
Taking atrocities as paradigms of evil, this book develops the theory that evils (plural) are foreseeable, intolerable harms produced by culpable wrongdoing. It places this theory in relation to others put forward by historically influential philosophers (Jeremy Bentham, Friedrich Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant, the ancient Stoics), places the concept of evil in relation to other ethically important concepts (such as justice and equality), and consider…
Responsibility Ethics, Shared Understandings, and Moral Communities
Margaret Walker's Moral Understandings offers an “expressive-collaborative,” culturally situated, practice—based picture of morality, critical of a “theoretical-juridical” picture in most prefeminist moral philosophy since Henry Sidgwick. This essay compares her approach to ethics with that of John Rawls, another exemplar of the “theoretical-juridical” model, and asks how Walker's approach would apply to several ethical issues, including interact…

Radicalesbianfeminist Theory
Cheshire Calhoun has been working to distinguish lesbian oppression from the sexist oppression of women in general, with the idea that different strategies may be needed to oppose each. On a radical feminist understanding of sexism, however, lesbian oppression is a very important part of the oppression of females generally. Women's liberation requires opposition to lesbian oppression. Or so I argue in supporting radicalesbianfeminism as a unified…

Voldtægt som et krigsvåben
Claudia Card argues that mass rape in war, like civilian rape, is a form of terrorism that aims to domesticate both women survivors of rape and the man who are socially connected to women who are raped. The primary function of rape, whether civilian or martial, is to produce dominance. The purpose of war rape, such as has occurred in Bosnia-Herzegovina, is genocide. War rape involves both outright slaughter as well as the cultural decimation of a…
Addendum to ?Rape as a Weapon of War
Addendum to “Rape as a Weapon of War”
Learning about martial sex crimes against men has made me rethink some of my ideas about rape as a weapon of war and how to respond to it. Such crimes can be as racist as they are sexist and, in the case of male victims, may be quite simply racist
The unnatural lottery
Against Marriage and Motherhood
This essay argues that current advocacy of lesbian and gay rights to legal marriage and parenthood insufficiently criticizes both marriage and motherhood as they are currently practiced and structured by Northern legal institutions. Instead we would do better not to let the State define our intimate unions and parenting would be improved if the power presently concentrated in the hands of one or two guardians were diluted and distributed through …
Rape as a Weapon of War
This essay examines how rape of women and girls by male soldiers works as a martial weapon. Continuities with other torture and terrorism and with civilian rape are suggested. The inadequacy of past philosophical treatments of the enslavement of war captives is briefly discussed. Social strategies are suggested for responding and a concluding fantasy offered, not entirely social, of a strategy to change the meanings of rape to undermine its use a…

Caring and Evil
Nel Noddings, in Caring: A Feminine Approach to Ethics and Moral Education (1984) , presents and develops an ethic of care as an alternative to an ethic that treats justice as a basic concept. I argue that this care ethic is unable to give an adequate account of ethical relationships between strangers and that it is also in danger of valorizing relationships in which carers are seriously abused

Oppression and Resistance
Marilyn Frye's first book, The Politics of Reality: Essays in Feminist Theory , presents nine philosophical lectures: four on women's subordination, four on resistance and rebellion, one on revolution. Its approach combines a lesbian perspective with analytical philosophy of language. The major contributions of the book are its analysis of oppression, highly suggestive discussions of the roles of attention in knowledge and ignorance and in arroga…

Lesbiska attityder och Det andra könet
Den lesbiska kvinnan väljer själv sin sexuella inriktning, säger Simone de Beauvoir i Det andra könet. Claudia Card diskuterar här denna tanke: betoningen av det egna ansvaret är viktig, menar hon, men tyvärr underlåter Simone de Beauvoir att dra de naturliga konsekvenserna av sitt påstående när det gäller heterosexualiteten

Female Friendship
This review essay on Janice Raymond's A Passion for Friends , sympathetic to the author's inquiry into the institutional contexts of female friendship, criticizes as unnecessary its rejection of feminist separatism and of the “lesbian continuum” and formulates a possible connection of its account of sources of passionate friendship among women to the new research on women and violence

Why Homophobia
Suzanne Pharr's Homophobia: A Weapon of Sexism may be an effective tool for women committed to overcoming their own homophobia who want practical advice on recognizing and eradicating it, although as an essay in theory it does not advance the issues. The author seems unaware that Celia Kitzinger has argued recently that “homophobia” is not a helpful concept because it individualizes problems better seen as political and begs the question of the r…
Feminist Ethics
In Women's Voices
anthology, Feminist Ethics? After all, feminist ethics is merely a parochial eddy of no great interest to mainstream ethics. Wrong, says Alison Jaggar, in her admirably succinct and informative essay: the aim of feminist theorizing is to eliminate male bias in ethics (p. 97). This concise formula, together with the rest of her article, should lay to rest any notion that feminist ethics is just about women, is just for feminists, or is just a dema…
Lesbian Ethics and the Journal Lesbian Ethics
Lesbian Ethics, a U.S. journal of lesbian culture, has offered highly readable philosophical essays, reviews, discussions, and other nonfiction since late 1984 (twelve issues to date). It provides a forum in which the meaning of “lesbian” takes shape from self concepts formed in cooperative interaction and thus lays the groundwork for lesbians becoming publicly recognized as the foremost interpreters of lesbian identity and history

What Can She Know? Feminist Theory and the Construction of Knowledge
Lesbianism and Choice
Why does it matter whether a woman can choose whether to be lesbian? I argue by illustration that, first of all, it does make good sense to see the option to be lesbian as genuine for women in a fairly common sort of circumstance; that recognizing the genuineness of this option, however, does not impute to such women major control over their lives; that choosing to be lesbian may actually narrow rather than expand one's present options; and that …

The Military Ban and the Rotc
This article examines reasons for university involvement in protesting ROTC policies discriminatory toward lesbians and gay men. The formal exclusion of lesbians and gay men from the military permits not only the abuses in selective enforcement of the policy and considerable economic costs to maintain it, but also contributes to the perpetuation of the closet. Closeting is not a phenomenon chosen by lesbians and gay men for reasons of their own, …
Joyce Trebilcot
In 1994, Joyce Trebilcot retired from teaching at Washington University in St. Louis, where she had founded the Women's Studies Program and had been a member of the Philosophy Department since 1970. In the Fall of 1994 I participated on a SWIP conference panel on her book Dyke Ideas (Trebilcot 1994) conference; I used that occasion also to reminisce and place her work in the context of her life as a SWIP activist. 1 What follows is adapted from t…
