Psychoanalytic Ecofeminist Dorothy Dinnerstein: Theorizing the Roots of Rapacity
Bynum, Gregory
Ethics and Education, v16 n2 p209-221 2021
This article proposes that Dorothy Dinnerstein's philosophy can help us understand the problem of miseducation that places male-dominated and 'masculine' rapacity at the center of so many human endeavors, including capitalist economic exploitation and environmental exploitation. Dinnerstein argues that early childhood experiences of female domination lead to reactive and immature adult preferences for excessive, triumphing, rapacious, male rule. In Dinnerstein's theory, the solution to this psychologically deep-rooted problem is for men to do half of the childcare work. This article acknowledges and refutes arguments against Dinnerstein's theory, and expounds its soundness and benefits. Dinnerstein's thought can help us put a brake on the capitalist rapacity that threatens our very survival while increasing possibilities for human self-actualization.
