ABSTRACT
One view within feminist legal theory is that there are no significant inherent differences between men and women. If anything, the only real difference is that of inequality – in all patriarchal societies, men dominate the lives of women. All structures of such societies, including the legal system, are set up to control, oppress and to facilitate the exploitation of women by men. It is because of their inequality with men that women might appear to be different. The different values which women appear to hold or exhibit are simply their reaction to a male dominated situation and are not really an expression of anything intrinsically feminine.
