«Logic in masculine hands is often violence»

okay so the lesbian chapter is absurd, but i don't have space to talk about it so i'm just gonna leave this here:

“i have no right to beauty, they have condemned me to the ugliness of men. they have forbidden me your [beauty]”
i’m sorry but every single time she quotes someone to explain girls’ attraction to other girls (often as a childhood “narcissism”) it’s the gayest thing i’ve ever heard and it just sounds repressed as fuck

*laughs nervously* what the fuck, simone?

Achilles and Thetis was a bad example, but mostly her points still stand.

a lot more interesting now! so fascinated with the part about "static work" being devalued!! exactly the thing i've noticed studying history. so many men would never have been able to write/invent/do the things that they did without their wives/mothers/sister who did the grunt work for them...

Let's go, this is gonna take a while:)
