Patriarchal Bargains as Oppressive Double Binds
In this paper, I define patriarchal bargains as a subset of oppressive double binds. They are situations in which an agent, under conditions of gender oppression, intentionally chooses the prudentially best option—complying with an oppressive norm—over the morally best option—resisting the norm—even though both options are “inextricably bound up” (Hirji 2021, 645). I then explore two frameworks to examine the bargainer’s responsibility for choosi…
Ideal vs. Non-Ideal
In this paper, I single out three opposing sets of features that characterize the debates on ideal vs. non-ideal theory vis-à-vis the desired anti-oppressive character of normative theories: idealization and abstraction vs. concreteness; unthematized situatedness vs. thematized situatedness; end-state theorizing vs. open-endedness. Theorists often tend to focus on these features separately as the main point of contention of three distinct debates…
Assisted Reproductive Technologies and Women’s Choices
In this paper, we examine and respond to two concerns associated with gender socialization and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). After providing an overview of feminist theorists’ work on gender socialization and women’s autonomy, we consider the concern according to which women’s choice to use ARTs to have children may be non-genuinely autonomous due to the influence of oppressive norms on this choice. We call this the autonomous-choice…
Misunderstanding moral status
Robinson's article defends the view that pregnant women are "unique beings" that have superior moral status to other adult human beings.In this commentary, we argue that Robinson's view rests on a misunderstanding of the concept of moral status and its role in supplying reasons for action (and forbearance from action).First, we show that no plausible account of moral status can justify Robinson's view.Second, we explain that beings with full mora…

Evaluation of Salivary Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP-8) in Periodontal Patients Undergoing Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy and Mouthwash Based on Ozonated Olive Oil
Background: Extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a pivotal role in the damage to the periodontal tissue in patients with periodontitis. Scaling and root planning (SRP) attempt to control the plaque amount and consequentially reduce the bacterial load. Non-surgical periodontal treatment could be integrated with drug therapy and physiotherapy procedures such as ozone therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate in a cohort of patie…
