Document Summary
Feel free to talk to dr. grant-young about paper. Courselink: some courses have to do stop, start, continue. Start doing this, stop doing this, continue doing this . You see this with ancients and moderns and today. Women as the second sex, either negatively cast to the man or the polar opposite. It"s a big deal in the western cannon. What it means to be a women has implications for the discussions to today. The fact that we have to ask that question. Men"s expectations are clear, who does it really mean to be a man, instead of having qualities of femininity and masculinity. Resiliency: women go through things men can"t understand. You fight against the cannon and legal system, and contraception and safe abortion. Motherhood as coming naturally to women, women can be mothers but it"s not a necessity or obligation that they need to fulfil. When we look at the existential mood, existentialist ideas are still kicking around.
