Essentializing Women
The idea of women’s oppression being synonymous with the domination of the environment is exemplified by eco-feminism’s stance, which sees a need for a “more feminine morality, one stressing cooperation and nurturant concern for all (human and other) life" (Warren 1980: 129). This victimization of women renders gender invisible in political and ecological relations. Feminist political ecology attempts to include gender as a “key element” in political ecology analysis (Hovorka 2006: 209).
