Nussbaum  As the circumstances of birth are arbitrary, there are no inherent or morally relevant differences between people. 

Martha Nussbaum writes: Nussbaum, Martha. "Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism." Boston Review, 1994.

The accident of where one......crucial ways, ignorant of itself.

Daniels This, in turn, requires states to provide all citizens a baseline level of social equality.

Because of their interest in recognitional equality.....with its echo of Rousseau.”

In the nineteenth and twentieth countries......change difficult if not impossible.

J2 and Tarantola Second, women have a direct relationship with the environment, which thus directly impacts them.

 Anna Tarantola writes: (Deputy Director General of the Bank of Italy, at the  58th World Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (Femmes Chefs d’Entreprises Mondiales – FCEM) Tarantola, Ana Maria. "Women Nurturing Sustainable Development." World Congress, 22 Oct. 2010. Web.
In industrialized countries, women have........policies for sustainable development.

Thesis My thesis is that states should include all genders in society and allow them to enjoy the benefits of the modern world.

Davion In order to truly understand how women are affected, we must look at their historically identified gender roles. 

Victoria Davion writes: (Victoria, Professor of Philosophy – UGA, Ecological Feinism, Ed. Karren Warren, p. 16) 1994. DD
Feminism pays attention to women...... as Warren and Plumwood assert.

Merchant Thus, equating women with the environment enhances patriarchy.

Carolyn Merchant writes: (Carolyn, Chair of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources – University of California, Reweaving the World: The Emergence of Ecofeminism. edited by Irene Diamond and Gloria Orenstein) 1990. DD

Yet in emphasizing the female.......can be seen as reactionary.

Ryan 1 Resource extraction solves for this harm by de-linking women from the environment and providing them with jobs in high positions of authority.

Access to credit, technical support......initiatives in conflict-affected settings.

Tetrias By including women in society, armed conflicts are decreased.

Bruno Tetrias writes: 

Tetrias, Bruno. "The Demise of Ares: The End of War as We Know It?" The Washington Quarterly, Summer 2012. Web.
