As Chapter 3 will show, this feminist theory has received extensive criticism. But it is hard to avoid the conclusion that theory based on power is more plausible, on its face, than theory based on difference. The dominance approach appeals to the student of politics for another reason: it directs our attention outward rather than inward. One cannot discuss women’s subjection and exploitation without discussing who and what subjects and exploits women. Instead of concentrating on women’s character, dominance theory concentrates on women in relation to society.

What is plausible is also demonstrable. Feminist scholars have shown that Nancy Hartsock’s insight about one Western political theory holds for Western jurisprudence in general. 1 Feminist scholars reason from the organizing premise of male bias to two related propositions. First, reality is so distinctively gendered—so different for men and women—that theory developed by men is ill adapted to women. 2 This derivative premise implies that the male bias of traditional thought has affected not only what we think but how: that it drives epistemology as it does ideology.
