Crimes Against Our Own?

In her writings on feminist international politics, Jan Jindy Pettman points out that by promoting the notion that women belong in domestic settings, many societies also promote the idea that men are those who belong in the public sphere, as opposed to women. They thereby promote the masculinization of politics and the male monopolization of authority. Many women take part in allowing for this phenomenon to occur, by submitting to the limitations that these male-dominated societies have outlined for them.
As Pettman's argument progresses, she points out that "while states treat women differently from men, states also treat women differently, as citizens or not, or as members of dominant or minority groups, for example" (14). Might one suggest that even women who protest their being treated unequally from men engage in behavior that promotes unfair and unequal treatment of fellow women who belong to minority groups? If so, how can we change this occurrence?
