Wait, but Beavior argued against women becoming more like men correct? The idea being to move away from the idea that women where oppressed and look to the future of equality. This was her philosophy right, and of self-determination for oneself and that men are not born men, women are not born women, that they themselves must define such for themselves throughout their lives in their own way? Am I correct, or am I reading a different book?

De Beauvoir was a brilliant philosopher who contradicted all she wrote by being a Ghislaine Maxwell to the Jeffrey Epstein of the 1960's. Jean Paul Sartre. De Beauvoir betrayed feminism by procuring young students of hers for Sartre's perversions. She had her teaching licence revoked for abducting a minor, Nathalie Sorokine, most of his victims were her students.

A freedom which is interested only in denying freedom must be denied - I wish feminists had a little reflection on that quote. It is said with a gentle narrative voice, but indeed, she did inspire a radical philosophy, and like any radical philosophies, feminism is an oppressive one.

Ok so she had a few problematic takes but like? If youre going to throw out all of her ideas bc of that then you better throw out every male philosopher ever. Plato? Gone. Nietzsche? Bye.

she came second to sartre in graduating from the exam, but yeah i get the point she was bright. however, this goes to show that these pop philosophy videos are only to be partially trusted.
reply

i dont think life has any meaning. she actually confirmed what i was going to say. you have to make a meaning for your life. there shouldnt be a norm to have meaning in life

Protecting the freedom of others to do the same?
The world is following anarchy. Without knowing what is life. this freedom results in destruction

reply

well, for madam de beauvoir, moral decisions are always ambiguous but you have to choose anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
