According to Carol Gilligan's model of moral development, women tend to emphasize care and responsibility for others, and see morality as rooted in preserving relationships and avoiding harm. Men, in contrast, tend to prioritize justice and fairness, and see morality as based on principles and rules. This is not to say that all women use a care perspective and all men use a justice perspective, but rather that there are gender-based differences in how moral reasoning is approached.
