Answer only ONE of the following essay topics, using Carole Pateman’s “The Sexual Contract”

Is it better to approach justice through a neutral perspective and strive to include women and all people into a theoretically universal category of the self-possessed, autonomous individual, or should we develop new concepts of political right, justice, and freedom by attending to the differences between sexes?

Pateman claims that legalizing the surrogate contract alienates a fundamental part of a womans self from her person. How might the logic behind this contract support or degrade a womans right to choose?
