女权主义视角可以使安全话语更能反映其自身的规范性假设。就扩大的人类安全概念而言，女权主义观点强调了在“人类”一词的标题下掩盖差异的危险。批判女性主义的视角是针对多重重叠身份的政治问题。由于性别与种族、阶级和国籍等其他身份交织在一起，通过将特定地点的个人经历与更广泛的区域和全球结构和进程联系起来，克服了普遍主义和文化相对主义之间的二分法。对一些女权主义和安全研究思想流派的概述揭示了这些话语中普遍倾向和性别沉默的程度。性别和安全结构在概念和政治上的可通约性常常被忽视。因此，强调身份政治可能有助于澄清人类安全的矛盾心理，它既是一项解放的政治项目，也是一种分析框架。因此，有理由根据具体情况对人类安全中的性别问题作出更灵活的解释。在这方面，有人认为，其他的女权主义方法，例如那些植根于非洲的方法，可以促进在所谓不可调和的立场内部和之间的对话。
A feminist perspective can make security discourse more reflective of its own normative assumptions. In respect of an expanded human security concept, a feminist perspective highlights the dangers of masking differences under the rubric of the term ‘human’. A critical feminist perspective is geared towards addressing the politics of multiple overlapping identities. Since gender is intertwined with other identities such as race, class and nationality, the dichotomy between universalism and cultural relativism is overcome by connecting individual experiences in a particular location to wider regional and global structures and processes. An overview of a number of feminist and security-studies schools of thought reveals the extent of universalizing tendencies and gender silences within such discourses. The conceptual and political commensurability of the gender and security constructs is often overlooked. An emphasis on identity politics may thus help to clarify the ambivalence of human security as both a political project of emancipation and an analytical framework. A case is therefore made for more fluid context-based interpretations of gender in human security. In this regard it is posited that alternative feminist approaches, such as those rooted in the African context, could facilitate dialogue within and across supposedly irreconcilable standpoints.
