human being and a woman as a female
Order Description
Man is defin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ined as a human bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing and a woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing she is said to imitate the male. Simone de Beauvoir
Thus humanity is male and man defin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ines woman not in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in herself but as relative to him; she is not regarded as an autonomous bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing. Michelet writes: ‘Woman, the relative bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing ...’ And Benda is most
positive in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in his Rapport d’ Uriel: ‘The body of man makes sense in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in itself quite apart from that of woman, whereas the latter seems wantin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in significance by itself ... Man can thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ink of himself
without woman. She cannot thin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ink of herself without man.’ And she is simply what man decrees; thus she is called ‘the sex’, by which is meant that she appears essentially to the male as a sexual
bein" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ing. For him she is sex – absolute sex, no less. She is defin" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">ined and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to her; she is the in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">incidental, the in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">in" rel="nofollow">inessential as opposed to the
essential. He is the Subject, he is the Absolute – she is the Other.’
