"Woman as Other" ashleigh ross

··  What is de Beauvoir's argument in this essay?

·      She is arguing how woman have always been inferior to men, and how we are always second best to men. She talks about how in the past and in myths, that women have always been wrong compared to men who are always right. It also argues how women are imperfect men. We are always others compared to men.

·      In what way is de Beauvoir's argument nuanced? As we have previously discussed, in what way is her argument strengthened because of this nuance?

·      Her argument is proven, but not beaten over the head because she use example from the past and from mythological stories, this only makes her point and argument proven, but isn't fighting with what other people may say. This strengthens her argument because it is hard to disagree when she has so many likely answers to her argument.
