Document Summary
Not every female human being is necessarily a woman; she must take part in reality known as femininity. Advocates of enlightenment philosophy, rationalist, or nominalism assert- women are merely those who are randomly chosen by the word woman". Every concrete human being always uniquely situated. Women who assert they are men still claim masculine consideration and respect. Human split into two categories of individuals with noticeably different clothes, faces, bodies, interests and occupations. Woman is the negative, to such a point that any determination is attributed to her as a limitation, without reciprocity. Being a man is not a particularity; a man is in his right by virtue of being man, the woman is the one that is wrong: no absolute human type that is masculine. Female is female by virtue of certain lack of qualities according to aristotle; we should regard women"s nature as suffering from natural defectiveness. Saint thomas- woman is an incomplete man"; an incidental" being.
