Fingers Crossed
I feel that these days I don’t personally experience many conscious feelings of being an Other in relation to men. Maybe men and women are becoming more equal in general. Maybe it’s because I’m around progressive people most of the time. I’m lucky I’m sure, as most of us are, to be living where I […] Continue reading →
Are women more than just a reproductive organ?
Yay for more feminist readings! I feel a lot of these books are sparking heated debates, but I’m glad we’re exploring this genre. The bane of my existence is how English classes tend to focus on white male european writers. … Continue reading → Continue reading →
The Second Sex
I really liked Jill’s lecture on The Second Sex. While I was reading the text I noticed the multiple similarities to many of the other texts we have studied, so I’m glad she covered them all. I think it’s very fitting to study Beauvoir close to the end of the year! I think sometimes we forget […] Continue reading →
Thinking about Beauvoir
First off, I just want to say that today’s lecture was absolutely wonderful. Now that we’re close to ending the year (10 essays completed, 2-3 more to go) we’re all starting to approach the last few lectures left of Arts One.

Beauvoir x Reworking x Symbol of
Hi everyone. Sorry for missing the seminar on Friday, got my wisdom teeth pulled (still a little bruised today). Just finished up The Second Sex. I found the way that Beauvoir reworks psychoanalysis really insightful. Even the form/style which she … Continue reading → Continue reading →
The never ending cycle of evil
As my title addresses, I do not like this book. Sadly like a nihilistic I find the sardonic vibe of irony that every week I am becoming weaker to the ideals of feminism and gender. The ideas increase because of De Beauvoir’s ideas match mind with her heavily leftist views. The pain that I have […] Continue reading →

I am so ecstatic about this text that I can come up with neither a good title nor a good opening. This woman is seriously amazing, and I think I like this mostly because it’s not aggressive feminism but instead a push for equality. Her tone is readable and her language isn’t too flowery, and […] Continue reading →
