the World (2016). The characteristics of these feminine genius-maternity links raise many open questions. For example: Emphasis on the person Because they can receive and develop life within their wombs, women can have a special openness to the new person - their child. This includes the capacity to unify all of humankind because people were all once united with their mothers in their wombs. The open questions here include the degree to which it takes a decision to consider every human person as some one's child and the ways in which such a decision has implications for social policy, the arts, and human culture.

Personalist feminists argue that the collaboration of men is so necessary for these tasks that they too need to be feminists. Sanctity and modesty Women have a sense of modesty to guard against the exploitation or objectification of that holy mystery. Only total
