Preferred term

lesbian ethics  

Definition

  • Lesbian ethics advocate the creation and maintenance of community among lesbians, independent from maledefined social structures, policies, attitudes, and laws. Lesbian approaches to ethics are varied and do not subscribe to a systematic set of rules but rather support practices that enable women to break away from patriarchal dominance, including patriarchal ethical theories.
