Every person has many different groups of friends that affect their views. Many times it helps the person and makes it so that they can gain a more marginalized perspective. In Dr. Lynn Hallstein paper A Postmodern Caring: Feminist Standpoint Theories, Revisioned Caring, and Communication Ethic, she talks about how a newly pregnant woman has an “outsider within position” (Hallstein, 1999) in relation to other pregnant women. What she means by this is that the new to be mother is in a privileged prospective about children and is learning from the older to be moms on what to do and how to do things. The information from the older mothers to be has helped the new mother to be to understand more and gain more of a marginalized perspective.
