What does "ontological" mean?

In the excerpt from the encyclopedia entry on Feminist Ethics, the authors used the term "ontological" in describing the foundation of the various feminist approaches.

"Ontology" is a branch, or field, of Philosophy. In this field, philosophers investigate "reality" or "existence."

To do so, they attempt to answer questions like: What is the nature of reality? What exists fundamentally? What is the "bottom-line" of all that is?

We can ask these ontological questions about specific things, too, like human beings.

Feminist argue that the ontological question "What is a human being" has been answered as if it were actually the question "What is a man?" In other words, men answered the question about what is real by examining their experiences and then universalizing this for all human beings. As a result, women were ignored and/or found to be morally deficient.

For example, Aristotle claimed that women had barely enough reason to handle household matters, like knowing how to keep food stocked(!). Contrasting men an women, he wrote "a man would be thought a coward if he were only as brave as a brave woman..." Politics,1227b.

You can see why feminist thinkers challenged this idea of "reality." They sought to correct the "ontological status" of men and women.
