Use this bоx fоr аnswering а questiоn from Sections B–F. (Reminder: You mаy not answer two questions from the same section.) Section B 2. What does Okin think is unjust about the gendered division of labor? Is she right? Make sure that you consider objections to her argument. 3. Alstott proposes a caregiver allowance which would now amount to $10k/yr, that the recipients could use to pay for childcare, or invest for retirement, or pay for their own (not their children’s) education. The lower earning parent would receive this annually as long as they are caring for at least one child under 13. What problem is she trying to solve, how does she argue for the proposal, and is her argument successful? Make sure you consider objections to her argument. Section C 4. Suppose that a couple with children is considering divorce, and a drug, with minimal side effects, is available that, if they take it, reduces dramatically the probability that they will want to divorce, by enabling them to enjoy each other’s company more. Do they have a moral obligation to take it? Section D 5. Consider the following case: Janey will only sleep with men or women both of whose biological parents are non-Hispanic caucasians. Her co-worker, James has Mexican parents, but he can pass. Knowing that his employer is racist, but needing a job, he passes as white, in order not to be fired. Janey, knowing that their employer will not (knowingly) hire Hispanics therefore believes him to be white, and sleeps with him. In this case, as described, has James done anything wrong? If so, what and why (if not, why not)? In discussing this case, consider whether Janey’s dealbreaker is a dealbreaker that it is morally wrong to have. Section E 6. Nussbaum argues that there is nothing morally distinctive about commercial transactions for sexual services. How does she argue for that? Consider at least two objections to her arguments.
