Document Summary
Protecting women from themselves: the more a woman was intelligent or educated to be so the more they were able to. The happy slave: many freed slaves did not want to be freed. The basics of their life were cared for and they did not mind their position; the principle of being free did not matter very much. Just because they accept it shouldn"t mean they should follow through with it. If women did accept this can this be considered acceptable: there is no such thing as women as a natural category, or women as an understandable term. Women or woman: systemic understandings understand everyone as a type and not as a unique type. Is a woman who she is because she has a vagina: we do not represent our gender, we cannot just define what a woman is, everyone has different attributes these things do not define you. Drawn to slavery: we like to be defined.
