Kauffman argues that striving for justice is not happiness. If justice is not happiness why do we want it? According to her views, we live an illusion, that we should stop thinking that personal experiences matter. How can we separate ourselves from personal experience if what we are is what we have been through? How can one seek for justice if seeking for justice is not a better way of life (happiness)? If men used their physical power to obtain more power why can’t women today use their beauty to reach the top? If we want to be equal to men and succeed as they have in life why do we have to limit ourselves? Why do we have to just have enough, as Woolf would like us to? Men never have enough, because they keep seeking for more, and if want to be as equal as they are and have what they have we shall never stop the seeking.  Woolf would call this a war, but if this is a war, then, this is the war I want to fight.
