- W1526921178 abstract "How should the liberal state respond when women emphatically endorse practices that seem to result in their own oppression? Nussbaum argues that we must avoid “trusting desire too much,” since desires can be distorted, while also recognizing the importance of trusting desires “a little bit.” To this end, I advocate what I call modified subjectivism for adults and moderate perfectionism for children. Accordingly, the liberal state should protect the liberty of adults to engage in problematic practices, like polygyny, provided that it is conceivable that the parties involved could offer intelligible reasons for participating in the practice. At the same time, if it is also conceivable that some people could not offer intelligible reasons for their participation, that is, could only offer reasons based upon fear, coercion, or their own inferiority, then the state must throw its weight behind efforts to minimize the chances that children will develop unintelligible preferences for these practices. Fundamentalist Mormon polygyny is a paradigmatic example of a problematic practice. In line with modified subjectivism, I insist that polygamy must be legalized for consenting adults. From the perspective of moderate perfectionism, however, I also insist that the state must do a better job of ensuring that children receive an adequate education in gender equality. Should some boys and girls still grow up to affirm polygyny, we can hope they will do so for intelligible reasons, and not because they each believe themselves to be in the position they “deserve.”" @default.
