 The “we” here is not meant to be ethnocentric. The claim is, rather, that a just society provides individuals with capabilities for human functionings where the idea of the important capabiliities is one to which people from different traditions with different conceptions of the good could agree as necessary to the pursuit of their conception. This idea provides a checklist of capabilities against which to measure forms of oppression and discrimination in particular countries. Thus, inequalities based on gender hierarchies as well as practices such as female genital mutilation will be precluded and a defense of such practices as part of the cultural tradition will not work. If cultural tradition confines women to the house, even if widowed and without means of support, then such practices are to be condemned as violating capabilities for even basic functioning. Indeed, while egregious practices such as female genital mutilation and female confinement violate capabilities for life, nutrition and bodily integrity, all inequalities based on gender hierarchies, in Nussbaum’s view, undermine capabilities for self-respect and emotional development that are part of human functioning. Ultimately, Nussbaum’s concerns are the same as Fraser’s: that a focus on genealogy and resignification cannot do the work of undoing the social, political and economic discrimination that women suffer in far too many cultures and countries and that it is this discrimination that feminism must try to combat.
