Philosophy shouldn't be in the business of "solving ethical problems" anyway, as there are no normative facts about ethical stances.

What's "best" for anything is subjective. — Terrapin Station

So philosophy shouldn't trouble its little head about subjective things? :chin:

Yeah, descriptively there's really no solution to how we ought to go about these problems, as Wittgenstein would point out. But, prescriptively we are inclined to agree with all this talk about rationality instilled through various philosophers since the ancient period to the present day.

What's your take on feelings such as care or love be the guiding force to moral decisions? Is it overly simplistic or elegantly simplistic? — Wallows

Feminine thought is powerful in thwarting ideology. It is more about direct feeling. It is idealized in a mother's relation to her son/daughter. Rather than making the child a numerical unit in some vast conceptual framework, the feminine imposes a unique qualitative importance on every individual.

elegantly simplistic. However you can't expect those in power to just relinquish control of their power with out something in return. Power can only be taken from someone in power with good philosophical arguments or someone more powerful to take those in power out of control.

Good point there, Merkwurdichliebe. Food for thought, I suppose.

I also think of the relation of the masculine to the feminine. Feminine devotion also imposes a unique qualitative importance on the individual. That is in contrast to the masculine fidelity, which is obligatory - a matter of honor. Devotion implies a giving away or unintelligible empathy, while fidelity implies a sort of taking or fulfilling. I believe the feminine to be the greatest power that exists.

Hehe, same here.

There was an episode in Star-Trek The Original Series, where Kirk was divided into two beings, one with effeminate characteristics and the other domineering and masculine. The domineering Kirk then became obsessed with proving to everyone that he was the "real" Captain Kirk and not the imposter. He also took advantage of a woman, given his status. It was a real trip watching that episode.

Here's a video from the episode, where William Shatner takes overacting to new heights. It's pure comedy:
