FEMINIST ETHICS WITHOUT FEMINIST ETHICAL THEORY (Or, More Generally, "φ Ethics without φ Ethical Theory")

Let's say that a feminist ethics is (among other things) one that takes considerations of gender to be highly significant (if not crucial) in many determinations of moral right and wrong. Must one accept some form of feminist theory in order to adopt a feminist ethical perspective? Nathan Nobis argues that one need not. He advocates what he calls a "minimal model" of feminist ethics, arguing that this model is sufficient to meet feminist goals. Nobis defends this minimalist model against the view that a feminist ethics must rest upon feminist theory.
