Carol Gilligan criticised Kohlberg's theory mainly because it:

1. Kohlberg's theory centres on justice. 2. Gilligan, in *In a Different Voice*, argued it was male-centred (androcentric). 3. She proposed that an ethic of care, based on relationships and responsibility, is left out. **Why not the others:** Kohlberg's theory is itself a stage theory, so ignoring stages cannot be the criticism. _Source: Wikipedia, "Lawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development", section "Androcentrism" (revision 1376737595)_
