Explanation To Books The First Sex

NO APTO PARA NO-FEMINISTAS O FEMINISTAS LIBERALES

Uno de los clásicos del feminismo radical, The First Sex analiza la transición de las sociedades matriarcales al patriarcado, polémicamente conocido por su teoría inicial sobre el origen de los varones (el cromosoma Y) en una suerte de mutación. Sin embargo, el libro destaca por su estudio de los matriarcados originales, sus símbolos, sus rituales y la perversión de los mismos a la llegada de las hordas patriarcales. Pese a ser conocido por ello, el libro en realidad estudia la historia de las mujeres hasta el siglo XIX, el punto débil del libro (y la razón de sus cuatro estrellas) es que muchas de sus indagaciones han sido críticas hoy en día por las propias historiadoras feministas, (particularmente sus estudios de la Edad Media y el Renacimiento). Otro punto débil del libro es la ausencia de un análisis lesbiano inicial, según Gould-Davis antes del origen de los varones sólo existían mujeres que se reproducían partenogenéticamente, sin embargo ella no considera que estas sociedades originales fuesen lesbianas (para un análisis lesbiano de este tipo recomiendo el libro de Susan Cavin, Lesbian Origins).
una lectura recomendada para cualquier feminista radical o lesbiana, o bien, personas interesadas en el estudio de los matriarcados originales o la partenogénesis

Elizabeth Gould Davis' book THE FIRST SEX is the author's assertion that prehistory was matriarchal and that women are physical, mentally, and morally superior to men. Her aim is already questionable, for who would want to say one half of the human race is superior to the other, and her manner of carrying out the argument is ineffective.The problems with the book are manifold, and the difficulty in describing them all lies in where to even start.

Read of in "Of Woman Born" chapter 3 part3 (pg 72). Though Rich isn't much appreciative of the book and calls it unscholarly (chapter 4, part 3). But appreciated "Davis as a catalyst of memory and imagination" (pg 92).

This book is of a dangerous sort because it has the potential to create two kinds of people, those who radically despise Feminism because it comes off as an agenda built upon the hatred or inferiority of man, and those who believe that is what the Feminist ideal should be. As a Feminist, and as a man, I am able to occupy both spheres, and while I may not be able to fully understand the full breadth of the privileges I have that my female compatriots do not have and are striving for, I recognize

This was good in some aspects but viewed through today's eye the things that stuck out the most were the rampant racist remarks. It seemed to insinuate that the whiter or more aryan the civilization the more CIVILIZED the people were. Not true in general and in my experience.
