I take strong issue that the so-called gender war was begun by AAUW. The
rivalry between those who support feminism and those who do not proceeded
that report by decades. Enough misinformation is out there as it is.
Gilligan's research did not trigger the discussions either. She was
proceeded by other researchers who were looking at ethics long before her
time. This article strongly implies that these two elements (AAUW and
Gilligan) were responsible for somehow starting a war. Enough. They were
no more responsible than were those who chose to miscast what was being
said
to suit their own political agenda. The issue goes way beyond Gilligan and
AAUW.
