Thus&nbsp; &nbsp;western&nbsp; &nbsp; feminist philosophers investigate and challenge the ways in which western traditions have so long been participating in subordinating&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;women&nbsp; &nbsp; or in rationalizing&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;their subordination . By questioning the gender insensitivity of ethics and philosophy , feminism attempts to reveal various&nbsp; &nbsp;forms of subjugation&nbsp; &nbsp; of women&nbsp; &nbsp;operating through laws , institutions , customs , social theories , and cultural values. Feminism aims at coming up with a better design for society , based on a thorough review and rethinking of gendered positioning of human beings.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Tattva Journal of Philosophy}, author={Islam, Merina}, year={2013}, month={Jul.}, pages={61-74} }
