Annette
disapproves
with
Kantian
view
because
she
believes
that
History
will
repeat
itself.
The
theory
doesn’t
show
great
result
in
the
past.
So
she
sticks
with
her
theory
and
criticizes
Kantian
theory.
Justice
perspective
are
likely
what
men
likes,
and
care
perspective
are
likely
what
women
likes
but
sometimes
it
can
be
opposite.
Nowadays,
more
women
doesn’t
want
others
to
see
them
asking
for
help.
They
want
equality
with
men.
