Beauvoir

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. Today’s lecture on Beauvoir combined so many different elements of what we have learned […] Continue reading →

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 →

Golden Globes

Yes, a short text. One time in grade eleven I almost read The Second Sex. Then I decided against it, partially because I didn’t want to read a huge book (yet I still borrowed it – I know), and also because I looked up the Parshley translation and found that it was widely criticized. Attempting […] Continue reading →
