Feminism Beauvoir Brocker I 307
Feminism/Beauvoir: For Beauvoir - as in the French language - human/homme and man/homme are identical, she equates being human in the existentialist sense with masculinity, more precisely: it is the men who have so far been able to realize the essence of humanity. Women, on the other hand, experience a contradiction between their humanity and their "femininity". In order to become truly human, women must conquer the various privileges of men, which undoubtedly changes the relationship between the sexes, but not the idea of being human. >Feminism/Young.

work: the devaluation of the reproductive potency of women as a limitation of their possibility of individualization and as enslavement to the genus (2). Lundgren-GothlinVsBeauvoir: Beauvoir also repeats the habitual devaluation gesture of patriarchal culture in her description of female physicality, sexuality, lived motherhood and the traditional female caring activities (3).
KusterVsBeauvoir: an intellectual hostility to the body that mainly affects the female body. Moreover, Beauvoir's ethical premises reproduce the opposites of body and mind, nature and culture anchored in the Western tradition, of immanent mere life and transcendent good life, and thus gender-hierarchical dualisms, to which gender-segregated spheres of life have always corresponded to.
