It’s my understanding that there is such a thing as a standardized ‘morality test’, which asks you several questions about how you would act under a variety of hypothetical situations. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers, but they look to see what goes into your thought process. An example would be-
“Imagine that you have a spouse who is dying of a terminal illness. There is a medication for this illness, but it is extremely expensive and you absolutely cannot afford it. You explained this to the pharmacist but he was very rude to you. Do you rob the pharmacy to obtain the medication?”
When the researchers looked at the results of this test, they found that women didn’t do very well. They answered everything based on an extremely self-centered analysis. “What about me? What would happen to me if I got caught?” They had to set a different standard for women who took the test, so that women who didn’t give a rat’s ass about anyone but themselves could still pass.
So are women really morally inferior? Is it their evolutionary imperative to be only concerned with themselves and their kids??
Thanks.
