“Care is fundamental to this flourishing. No human is born being able to feed or protect themselves, and most of us die in need of care again. Your life is a result of the sacrificial care of others. . . . This fact is relevant for feminism because (at least) half the population cannot cosplay the autonomous, independent, male-coded model of a desirable human life as well as the other half. It is a charade for both, a trap for men too, but their own reliance on and calling to care is easier to hide and more socially permissible to avoid.”

Elizabeth Oldfield articulates a feminism centered on interdependence rather than autonomy.
