The affirmative endorses current systems of jurisprudence which are essentiallymasculine- the notion of “individual” rights necessarily assumes a separateness thatdoes not apply to women.West
, professor of law at the University of Maryland, Winter 
1998
 [Robin. “Jurisprudence and Gender.” University of Chicago Law Review. 55 U. Chi. L. Rev. 1. Lexis]The first purpose of this essay is to put forward the global and critical claim that by virtue of their sharedembrace of the separation thesis, all of our modern legal theory -- by which I mean "liberal legalism" and"critical legal theory" collectively -- is essentially and irretrievably masculine. My use of "I" above wasinauthentic, just as the modern, increasing use of the female pronoun in liberal and critical legal theory,although well-intended, is empirically and experientially false. For the cluster of claims that jointlyconstitute the "separation thesis" -- the claim that human beings are, definitionally, distinct from oneanother, the claim that the referent of "I" is singular and unambiguous, the claim that the word "individual"has an uncontested biological meaning, namely that we are each physically individuated from every other,the claim that we are individuals "first," and the claim that what separates us is epistemologically andmorally prior to what connects us -- while "trivially true" of men, are patently untrue of women. Womenare not essentially, necessarily, inevitably, invariably, always, and forever separate from other human beings: women, distinctively, are quite clearly "connected" to another human life when pregnant. In fact,women are in some sense "connected" to life and to other [*3] human beings during at least four recurrentand critical material experiences: the experience of pregnancy itself; the invasive and "connecting"experience of heterosexual penetration, which may lead to pregnancy; the monthly experience of menstruation, which represents the potential for pregnancy; and the post-pregnancy experience of breast-feeding. Indeed, perhaps the central insight of feminist theory of the last decade has been that woman are"essentially connected," not "essentially separate," from the rest of human life, both materially, through pregnancy, intercourse, and breast-feeding, and existentially, through the moral and practical life. If by"human beings" legal theorists mean women as well as men, then the "separation thesis" is clearly false. If,alternatively, by "human beings" they mean those for whom the separation thesis is true, then women arenot human beings. It's not hard to guess which is meant.

Moreover, The relationship of domination established in patriarchy and engrainedin our legal system creates the ability to oppress and killWilliams
, associate professor at the University of Wisconsin,
1988
 [Patricia J. “On being the object of property.” From Feminist legal theory: readings in law and gender” ed.Katharine T. Bartlett and Rosanne Kennedy. p. 167] p.167 “As I reflected…to production”
As I reflected on all this, I realized that
one of the things passed on from slavery, which continues in the oppressionof people of color, is a belief structure rooted in a concept of black 
(or brown, or red
) anti-will, the antitheticalembodiment of pure will. We live in a society in which the closest equivalent of nobility is the display of unremittingly controlled willfulness. To be perceived as unremittingly will-less is to be imbued with analmost lethal trait. Many scholars have explained this phenomenon in terms of total and infantilizinginterdependency of dominant and oppressed.
6 Consider, for example, Mark Tushnet's distinction between slave law'stotalistic view of personality and the bourgeois "pure will" theory of personality:
"Social relations in slave society rest uponthe interaction of owner with slave; the owner, having total dominion over the slave. In contrast, bourgeoissocial relations rest upon the paradigmatic instance of market relations,
the purchase by a capitalist of a worker's personality.
Slave relations are total, engaging the master and slave in exchanges in which each must takeaccount of the entire range of belief, feeling, and interest embodied by the other; bourgeois social relationsare partial, requiring only that participants in a market evaluate their general productive characteristicswithout regard to aspects of personality unrelated to production."7
