Feminist Ethics challenges us to revise, reformulate and rethink traditional ethics to the extent it devaluates women 's moral interpretations. Among other feminist thinkers that will be discussed in this essay, Alison Jaggar faults traditional ethics for letting women down in many ways. Significantly it shows less concern for women 's as opposed to men 's issues and interests and overvalues culturally masculine attributes such as hierarchy, domination and transcendence. Whilst undervalues culturally feminine attributes such as connection, nature and process life. (Jaggar, 1992).

Therefore it is recognised for various matters and is a greatly valuable environmental and feminist theory. If Ecofeminism is an umbrella what is the storm it is resisting? They deem the largest structure of society is a system of capitalist patriarchy. Capitalism signifies to the economic organisation that derives profits from private production by keeping wages low enough that workers generate surplus values. Patriarchy is a systematic domination of women by men through establishments and a way of reasoning which provides greater privileges and control to men. The current system is a private production with a side of male privilege (Warren, 2000). Marxist feminist Maria Mles suggests that capitalist patriarchy is means in which capitalism gives men power and access to resources not given to women.

Challenging these positions can change a course that is equally destructive to society and the earth we share. Ecofeminism creates a new way of thinking about achieving social justice; one could comprehend an authentic thought of solving social issues. It is not about building a movement from scratch but connecting the dots between the movements we already have. We have to find the common themes that connect us. The interconnection of socio-political issues was seen in Hurricane Katrina - extreme weather due to climate issues and the socially subordinated people in America suffered the most: the poor, African Americans and single mothers. This idea can be related to Warrens thoughts on Sexism, racism, classism are examples of what she calls unjustified “isms of domination”. She claims that these isms of domination share conceptual roots in the features of an oppressive conceptual framework (Karen,
