Opening
Feminist ethicists such as Carol Gilligan's ethics of care propound that female prioritise relationships and emotional aspects towards ethical judgements.
Body · points
Women, through social conditioning and gendered expectations are made to develop a personality which is supposed to be docile and emotional.
Stereotypes, entrenched sexism and patriarchal institutions further fuels this cycle of self fulfilling prophecy.
Thus due to subtle nudges and socialisation women are thought to be companionate, emotional and one who giving more importance to relationships.
While men are considered to be bold, courageous, conservative and less emotional.
Although, this might be true to an extent but it is unfair and narrow approach towards understanding morality and ethics which is much more relative and complex.
Thus according to me one's approach towards ethics and morality does gets influenced by factors attributable to one's gender but can't be explained fully only due to them.

Examples like Kiran Bedi (IPS), Sanjukta Parashar (IPS), IAS Durgashakti Nagpal, Matangini Hazra and numerous others, warn against such generalisation.
