Backstabbers — ‘In Woman’s Inhumanity to Woman, pioneering feminist Phyllis Chesler dares to talk about the ways women — including famous feminists — stab each other in the back.’ Salon. As a fan of the work of Carol Gilligan, I’ve always felt the feminist developmental theorists who have made much of the fact that women’s development conspires to accentuate the value of affiliation and embeddedness in relationships go a long way to explain a host of implications for male-female psychological differences. However, this never should have influenced social scientists to have blinders on about female-female aggression, or to discount the possibility of affiliative values in males. Now a veteran of feminist social science takes off her blinders, in a way.
