Talk:Simone de Beauvoir
From Academic Kids
Additions re feminism
I need to admit that I have not actually read this work. What I've added is essentially my interpretation from my "Women in World History" teacher's explanation of the work. My understanding was that Simone was arguing within a dialectic: that for feminism to get anywhere further, they needed to stop arguing for a male ideal, or even a female ideal, and find the higher viewpoint. I don't feel up to the challenge of explaining this, however, so I've added what I consider a stub to a stub article. --Daelin 06:29, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
French nobility?
Beauvoir is categorised as "French nobility," yet no reference is made to this in the article. As a rule, I object to any categorisation that isn't substantiated in the article, with the possible exception of stubs. Anyone have any info as to this claim? Buffyg 13:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I'm totally with you regarding your position on categories and articles. The addition was made by an anonymous user, who I tried to contact just now via their talk page. Hopefully we'll hear from them regarding the change. In the mean time, I'll do a little research. -Seth Mahoney 19:27, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
