Feminist empiricists are interested in promoting the justification of scientific claims with little contribution to scientific methodological emendation, while feminist standpoint theory is related to the emendation of methodology. Similarities and differences between epistemologies exist at an essential level. Feminist empiricists and feminist standpoint theorists make different claims about what is needed for greater scientific objectivity, but both aim to increase objectivity in science. Standpoint epistemology challenges the idea that neutrality is an epistemic advantage or that the privilege of “objectivity” belongs to those least close to the situation or subjects under study (Campbell, 21). Feminist empiricists, on the other hand, advocate traditional neutrality within science as the appropriate means to achieve it
