The second sex is a book which primarily looks at gender and racial equality. The author takes a very strong stance for the feminine side, she believes that women have been known as the “other” and been unfairly treated by society.
As the book is written with a very feminist stance by the author, it may have come across harsh to the male race but in my opinion if males had been treated as unequal for as long as women had then there would be a sour sense to the book also if a male had wrote it. I believe that men and women should be equal due to the fact that its scientifically proven that both men and women have strengths and weaknesses which are great foils for each of the race.
I did agree with what the author and book were saying, but it is still plain to see that women are unfairly treated in many ways in western culture. Men still tend to have higher paid jobs, etc which could cause concern to the female population who stand up to this problem. It will be interesting to see in 10 years whether men still on average have the higher paid jobs in the USA.
