"Man is defined as a human being and woman as a female - whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male." "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman."
Profound and true.

How glorious the French language is on the right tongue and fueled by a potent intellect!
Beautifully said ... it sums up a lot about the best of France.
Beauvoir took A LOT of heat from those who did not appreciate her or her views. I wrote her a letter and she responded--a great woman for sure.
I like how clear and direct she talks.
Glad to see Simone's video talking about her thought. I read her "Second Sex" book and it was a great experience. She was buried not far from Sartre's cemetery. Both were amazing thinkers whose ideas are still used and inspired us until today. RIP Simone de Beauvoir. ❤
Just stupid postmodernists saying nonsense .
Buried right next to each other in fact. They share a gravestone. I am visiting it tomorrow
@@ethanbenson You are wasting your time .
@@saadtazili8953 Perhaps. I simply wish to pay my respects to these two thinkers who mean a lot to me and have greatly influenced my thought. Does it matter? No. They will still be dead and my paying tribute will not change that. But it is something which will bring me joy and that's the important thing.
@@ethanbenson Influenced your thoughts by exactly what? Do you think it made your life better ? Do you think you have now a good moral standard and strong principles ? Or in fact you are just living in a postmodernist illusion because of these two !!! I think that it is a shame for us as a humanity that we are taking the meaningless views of these two seriously .
Her words are as heavy as its importance... Even now, it is important not only for Women, but almost all oppressed minority.
She oppressed her young students abusing them ,don't you know?
are you a pedo? Because if you say they influence you with their life, well you are not a good person , they abuse students , do you agree with that?
She clearly signed for 3 pedo get out of prison. You guys believe in people's love words but their actions are evil and you all still praise them. They weren't Good there were abusers . Wake Up society. Ready Reality
checking the comment section to see how many people gets triggered by this still very relevant topic
Not a lot are watching, listening or reading
Those that would be triggered would not have the intellectual capacity, much less the ability to read this work. It is over 700 pages long and is an intellectual tour de force.
@@thenorthernspinozist397 honestly. We read mayor of Casterbridge in 8th grade and i think what would have went through the mind of girls when he so casually sells his wife as one sells a goat. But those girls were muslim and we find out shortly after infancy how mohammad had 11 wives and how a man may marry 4 times. This book is not talked about even this video has lesser views than whatever b.s is trending right now. Its a must read and the general idea should be taught to younger minds.. this world of pants and skirts should've met its decline by now
@@Anicius_ Beauvoir's Second Sex is a work of philosophy not a work of literature.Although she wrote many more books of an autobiographical nature. Part of her brilliance is in her philosophical analysis of the condition of women as a class of people, which she defined in terms of otherness (alterity). She wrote her Ph.D. dissertation on Liebnitz and was greatly influenced by Husserl. Beauvior's book is not particularly an exposé on the mistreatment of women per se as you recount here, but more on the view of woman as class of lesser human beings, thus she titled her massive philosophical work the Second Sex. Have look at the book. It is very scholarly. She got a lot of grief from Camus and others when it came out.
@@thenorthernspinozist397 i started 2 days ago i am at the chapter 'data of biology'. Yes i know its a philosophical work and i think highschool kids should be made aware of this work as they are made aware of Descartes, kant, spinoza and others in the west
The world needs people like de Beauvoir as leaders right now!
No. The world doesn't need more people to abuse kids.
The world needs people to Respect kids and people

thanks
some people are so smart that they lack the good sense god gave a goat. Madame is a fine example of this precept that i learned from my great grand mother,bless her eternal soul.
Enfin, je vois Simone elle-même, et non ses interprétations ! Magnifique! D'après la photo je pensais qu'elle avait les yeux marrons, mais ils étaient bleu transparent ! Super!! 😍😍😍
Ironique que l’on commente l’apparence physique d’une intellectuelle aussi importante et non ses idées.
Wow!
As a man, it's refreshing to hear a woman tell me what men think, feel, desire and intend.
She knew SO MUCH!
We haven't seen that much presumption, arrogance and self-righteousness since "The Kardashians!"
Well done!
Apologies to your much-oppressed and underprivileged group. 🫡 😂

C'est une femme déplorable qui a abusé de jeunes filles et protégé des pédophiles. Une femme perverse qui n'a jamais voulu d'enfants ou une relation stable. C'est triste qu'elle soit considérée comme un symbole du féminisme alors que les femmes qu'elle a blessé sont oubliées. 🤮 Un grand esprit oui
Simone de Beauvoir was a very interesting woman. She really loved a lot other fellow women... Especially underaged ones... She liked them young, very young... An interesting woman indeed...

She is one of the most forgotten genius.
You need to educate yourself because among other things Beauvoir is now listed in the Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy, although she did not define herself as such. Beauvoir is listed there with Socrates and Spinoza among other great philosophers. I taught some of her ideas in a collage class on ethics. Professors are still teaching her ideas routinely, as much has been published on her work since her death. A much better and complete English translation of The Deuxieme Sexe (The Second Sex) is now available that came out in 2007. Moreover, I was told by a Chinese student of mine that she read Beauvoir in Manadarin--I think a testament to the durability and world class nature of Beauvior's works. The original translation however, of the Second Sex by Howard Paishley, a zoologist was flawed, as it was abridged and mistranslated in places. Translation is an art not a science--hence the background of the translator is important. So no, I do not believe she is forgotten at all.. Beauvoir is what she always was, a supreme intellectual whose ideas are just as true and important now as they were when she first published her thesis in 1949. Beauvoir will not be forgotten anytime soon and especially now as her reflection on the condition of women is still a major concern amongst educated people.
@@thenorthernspinozist397 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@misstimzy Same to you.
a pedophile
Also one of the forgotten groomers.
I guess she would say the same about man.
1:25 And here's she saying why biology is important to the definition of women. Most important is the socialization, but the biology has significantly importance. Without it there's no construction of women. That's feminism.
No, several times in this video alone she aludes first to civilisation as the first thing that begins to make women, same thing in her writings. She aknowledges the biology as an element, one that she finds very important, but she is also not a biologist and that's not supposed to be the main idea at all....
But definition of women is sociological and ideological, not biological, which is the reason why trans women are recognized by biologists, scientists and feminists as women. Trans people are liberating women from the patriarchal oppression, because this system weaponizes bodies against someone's inner authority, which women have been subjected to for centuries. That is the reason feminism has been defending transgender and intersex people over the decades because they know what they go through under this dehumanizing system. Patriarchy imposes narratives upon our own inner nature, and feminism is about freeing ourselves from these cages, it is not feminism when they put people back to those cages.
And she never says men can become women so this is directed towards females only
1:47
I know trans activists will be unhappy that she said this. Ironic because they try to use her ideas to back up their arguments.
Today, they'd call her a terf.
They probably wouldn't... because she probably wasn't
This needs a lot more exposure. De Beauvoir is so eloquent in explaining what makes a woman AND it is certain that she had no intention of pretending that MEN can be MADE INTO WOMEN. So very tired of the current coopting of her philosphy by 'certain' men.
I find it interesting that these ideas can still be warped into something so radically anti-trans as if she didn't just say that womanhood is nothing physical, and is in fact the way you interact with the history of women. How is it that a man cannot be "made into a woman" if in fact he has the exact same interaction and connection with the abstract concept of femininity? She says these physical differences - organs, size, strength - are not what causes exploitation of women: how is it not overwhelmingly clear to you that someone born in a man's body can relish the philosophy of womanhood, and femininity, in a way that is just as worshipful as someone born in a woman's body? GENDER is an entirely mind-based thing. If we continue to pretend, forever, that femininity is only something that women can possess, then the desire to oppress it will coincide with the oppression of women. Forever.

Men can be effeminate; men can never be women.
Men cannot ever even be a concept that belongs to women; women are the blueprint, and the construction of it.
Only girls - Female-People - can ever be made into "Women".
Woman as socially constructed; Woman as rebel; Woman as the burgeoning being of her own embodiment.
The real question is:
Why do men want to be social constructs of women?
I sought the answer to this question, and I learned about Autogynephiles.
I was horrified and disgusted by what I uncovered.
If Simone was here, today, she would not for one second tolerate male sexual-fetishism invading feminism, nor language, nor her own words.
In her time, her words made sense: women were seen as the second sex.
It is now bleedingly obvious that the world is just women and her children; women are default, and men are the second-sex.
They are chromosomally deformed, with the Y carrying most genetic diseases, as well as deteriorating - evolution doesn't like this chromosome.
Men's Liberation lies in Women's Liberation - not the other way around.
When you talk about:
XX

XY

XYX
Know that you are only ever talking about X and Y.
Each one is not, is never, the other one.
@@adabouthet6828 It is quite interesting, what you are saying and what you understand by this expression of De Beauvoir. But I have to disagree, because my understanding is different. Through the entire history of human race (since the establishment of patriarchy) women have been deprived of their right on the basis of their nature (that is, breast’s, vagina, menstruation etc.)They have been both discriminated institutionally, and treated differently up to these days. As Simone says, we AQIRE féminité, during the process of our childhood it is not what is inscribed in our DNA, and the differences are not about the brain as well (boys and girls are born with identical brains, and certain connection develop later on depending on the activities we are let to involve in). That is to say, we are taught to seat in a certain way, to speak with a certain voice, to be more shy and modest than boys, to wear nice dresses, not to intervene into conflicts, not to fight, not to stand up for ourselves (´cause smb else is somehow supposed to do it for us). That is why we get used to wearing dresses and heels, to drawing makeup, to having (on average) longer hair and nails, to speaking softer etc, etc. That is what is perceived by feminity. While men are thought all the opposite things: not to dress too bright, not to care much about their appearances, to be fighters, protectors and leaders and so on. Of course, the patriarchal society put some restrictions in their behaviors, too. They can’t wear dresses, have long and painted nailed, wear makeup, etc, even if boys wanted to. But!!! Their rights have never been as cut as those of women
@@adabouthet6828 sorry for such a long intro. And for my English as well, I might make mistakes since it’s not my first language. Here’s the thing. There is not such thing as ´born in a wrong body’, in my opinion. Being trans is a protest of the psyche of men and women against these social restrictions, and nothing more. While De Beauvoir lived, nobody knew such words as transgender, self-identification (in terms of gender), etc. That is why she expresses her thèses the way she expresses them. She says: « one becomes a woman ». In fact, I’m sure, she meant, that one become feminine, that a woman learns how to behave in accordance with the expectations of the society of her. For some reason, it seems to me, that she would not approve of the modern trans ideology, e.g. when trans women INSIST on calling them women, and « you never dare to state that their experiences as trans are way more different than those of real women ».
@@adabouthet6828 mimicking the image of woman created for women by the patriarchal society (by men!) doesn’t make you a woman, it makes you a caricature. De Beauvoir believed that with economical and political equality, we’ll get the overall equality of men and women, which we don’t have. First, we have to eradicate gender stereotypes from or minds. Like, completely. In order to understand, that the only thing that makes us different is the genitalia we are born with and chromosomes. That’s it! Everything else (feminity and masculinity) are social constructs. At this point, I see a kind of regression of our collective thought, when we claim that, roughly speaking, if a boy prefers to play with Barbies more than with, say, cars, means that he’s internally a girl, and not just a curious child. That’s it. Thank you for my Ted-talk
Remember when this lady signed a petition to the French Parliament to abolish the age of consent? Because I sure do
She is also Jewish
When she also groomed kids for her lovely husband Sartres...
Thanks for this info, that's deplorable. It was sad to know that also also Félix Guattari and Jean-Paul Sartre (not that surprising) signed this. Better just study the theory (because of its relevance) and do not give any appreciation at all to the people, but also criticize their actions so it won't be normalized or defended. There's paedophiles everywhere...
@@Juuxr this was the logical conclusion of what they pushed
She signed a petition to make the age of consent equal for both gay and straight people
1:33 she would be cancelled if she were born today I guess. And I am Asian
It’s easy to be militant when the rights that afford the opinions of a militant free expression are protected by those the militant views as oppressors. Interesting.
Giga 403 who inspired women to become 403 like her.
Sorry but the translation into English is horrendous!!!! donnée translated as given!!! it's data !!! and other mistakes...
What a brilliant mind… who groomed students
Was she destroying feminism and woman?
Why?
What's the masculine version of feminism? the ideology that supports the men's submission?
Feminism is about gender equality, the equality of men as well as women.
Men certainly experience toxic masculinity and other things like this, that gender equality would cover i imagine if you go looking.
i'm no expert though
@@bbybanshee539 no feminism isn't about men, it's about the liberation of women. toxic masculinity is a very individualistic view on men's selfhood. feminism should look at society from the lens of complex hierarchical class system, and this is what original feminism (radical and marxist) is about. liberal feminism doesn't look for any improvement of women's lies and "toxic masculinity" is another bullsh-t concept they invented to silence women from speaking about their oppression. men have always been giving their opinions about women, politics, economy, philosophy.. everything around us is controlled by men and constructed by them. i assume since you came to this video of such a huge feminist thinker you should already know this.
there's no masculine version of it, the world is already anti-feminist and misogynistic so you're no different to create a label for(ahaa maybe just go with misogynistic) men already have the social power and are practicing their injustice, what rights do they lack are you looking to defend idi0t?
@@bbybanshee539 Feminism wants society/the general
public to think it is about equality(must keep the cash rollin in)
but a lot of the time,especially if you study feminism in detail,
it turns out to be gynocentric/matriarchal/misandric.🤔
