- The Dynamics of Othering: In The Second Sex, Beauvoir introduces a theme that we saw repeatedly over the course of the semester, the idea that gender relations were constituted as a binary of self/other, in which the masculine position was privileged.

Finally, consider whether such a binary conception of gender survives the kind of intersectional accounts one finds in Collins, Mohanty, or Lugones.
