I would like that you find and read one chapter of The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir : The chapter XIV on independant
woman. I've opened for my issue just the middle of this chapter, but it is immediately striking for what I have ever said you in my message of august. Rather than talking about requiring, it is
more an invitation. Beauvoir is not a philosopher which requires, she is a writer with modesty and taste for criticism and she invitate women for an other destiny. I have let the page for French
edition, that you which is in the text of Beauvoir.
Since the beginning of the critical instinct Simone de Beauvoir exerted but not limited to the status reserved for women but how French author among which Claudel (Поль Клодель) or Breton (Андре Бретон) onjet treated the "woman" in their novels. There are even scratched the bad faith of the metaphysicians that Sartre already criticized : "but the scope of the word being that he would agree, the bad faith is to give substantial value when it has the Hegelian dynamic meaning ; being (Бытие) is becoming (Cтановление *), that have been done as it is manifested "(_36). And being (Бытие) there in Russian or in everyday conversation, either in Japanese or Chinese, is therefore a peculiarity of our language crossing to abstraction since the Greek philosophers. To what Beauvoir invitate when when relativize the importance the motherhood by duty and femininity by mirror (narcissism if you want). Hence the famous phrase put forward by Beauvoir and returning to the precept of Tertullian (Тертуллиан) during antiquity and Erasmus (Эразм Роттердамский) during the Renaissance: "One is not born a woman but becomes one". Bred in accordance with the matriacal model , women fall into the guilt that arises from the error. Thought to be born women while them have to become women, according to Beauvoir without the path of the only reproduction only nor the lazy trap of seduction, but by the 'effort and the work that go beyond the field of vision men, heard that it is man and who sees that the woman was seen previously, remember we ltalk often about the human subject and female object.
For Simone de Beauvoir, that "becoming" is between 18 and 30 years. She calls it the professional future: "Which the woman would live in his family or is married, his entourage rarely respects his effort as he meets a man"(_70). An exception in this type of education was whose of Emilie du Chatelet, whom his father gave education and confidence that is given to a boy. Beauvoir chips away by passing the myth of the hero, you know, the hero, this liberator and savior as a woman waiting for fifteen or twenty as a prince charming. But once again the hero liberator and savior turns quickly into an executioner. The situation obtained by the maintaining from a rich man or the simple condition of household is a denied form of inferiority complex (Комплекс неполноценности). Resigning herself to her inferiority Women aggravates her inferiority (_72). This issue can also be found in childhood, in the ratio of young women to education, or rather the error, where boys in particular in the contest will take advantage of a failure, while for a young girl, the same failure would be devastating (72-73 and 80-81): what makes girls say "that the boys work easier" or are more capable to competition or mathematics. Girls raised by a more demanding scientist does not overcome the feeling of failure. A cela Beauvoir répond tout de go "elles ignorent que l'erreur peut ouvrir le chemin du progrès" (_81). At this Beauvoir replied bluntly "they ignore that error may open the path for progress" (_81). There are a whole defeatism among women when she fails in leaving the alternative of maternity innate and acquired seduction. Motherhood can be summarized by Nietzsche (Ницше) as "the enigma of the woman is pregnancy". Seduction is the easy way of resolution of the conflicts and the problems to which women are conditioned by their education (the woman object of the vision, we have seen sooner). In this point, we're getting closer to womanhood who thinks it has an innate grace, a gift of glorious birth, a gift to exclude from woman mind the independence through work. "accustomed to idleness, having never experienced in her life the need of discipline, she will not be able of a sustained and perseverant effort. She does not apply herself (принуждать себя) to acquire a solid technique, she is reluctant to groping thankless, lonely work that is not exhibed, work that we need hundred times to start again and to destroy, and as soon as a child by teaching him to please you He learned to cheat, she hopes to extricate himself by some trick "(_79). In both cases, maternity assumed and narcissistic femininity, women are not producing any effort toward their own independence. For a philosopher and a writer, Beauvoir will not hesitate to talk about femininity serving work without recognition but which is ultimately more supportive for independence. It is not freedom (that is to say effort brought about a situation), but the independence that Beauvoir invitates.
I could go on but it seems sufficient, because the effort of reading is more at home and even Beauvoir does not stop at literature and history, biology will also be used. She doesn't hesitate to talk about painful menstruation that women active sportwomen ignore by relativizing know that suffering (_69). But there is upside to all this vision of women who have long seen the need to choose between life or the successful 'education of their children. The question is: Is it able to overcome this alternative when it exceeded certains machos (Мачо) are continuing to see in the feminism of Beauvoir fatigue of motherhood she was ready to give a child to Nelson Algren. But out of the condition vernacular and gendered made woman that is what has drawn Simone de Beauvoir, not for herself but for the second sex. Deference for the dialectic reason, past from gender to sex.
