I stole my copy of the second sex
the trick of the second sex is to know when to read carefully and when to skip chapters :O Like the first chapter about biology is just bleh i don't need to know the history of biology and how reproduction works. Even if people do make arguments based on the superiority of men because of how the reproductive process works, I still find it boring to read the word gamete 50 times on the same page.
on the other hand the history of psychology is fucking awesome :O the way she explains freudian theories makes complete sense without making him look like a douche, and you can understand how existentialism was influenced by freud.
I mean when you think of the idea of being sexually attracted to your mother you just think he's a weirdo. But when you realize he's talking about finding yourself in others it makes more sense :O :O :O
