In talking about stratification of genders and sexism‚ Okin proposes that the Rawlsian conception of justice is the first contemporary theory to consider family as playing “…a fundamental role in the stages in which [our] conception of justice is acquired.” (Okin 228). Thus‚ in order to have a just society‚ we must have a just family.
