When you start hating on even Beauvoir, it's time to wonder whether you really do just have a problem with women.

>it's time to wonder whether you really do just have a problem with women.
There are many things I have a problem with, but women aren't one of them. I have a problem with the idea that disliking how militant feminist issues that are no longer relevant are paraded around by deluded slutwalkers but anyone opposed should be labelled as 'having a problem with women.'

-“A man will only attach himself to woman -- not to enjoy her, but to enjoy himself. ” - Simone de Beauvoir
-"Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with absolute truth.” - Simone de Beauvoir
-“Fathers never have exactly the daughters they want because they invent a notion a them that the daughters have to conform to.” - Simone de Beauvoir
-"If the feminine issue is so absurd, it's because of the male's arrogance"- Simone de Beauvoir
-"It is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.” - Simone de Beauvoir
-“a man will always treat a woman as a slave while persuading her that she is a queen.”- Simone de Beauvoir

Using the majority of De Bevouir's rhetoric in modern egalitarianism is absurd and promotes a dichotomy that no longer exists.

most of those are pretty solid quotes. well on par with anything that male philosophers of the time might have said about the issue. the fourth quote is ridiculous, but the others, though rhetorical, are certainly not nonsense-statements; including that last one that if you interpret it as meaning 'when a man vies to persuade a woman that she is a queen, he treats her as a slave'. no one's saying your being opposed to 'militant feminism' is a problem; only that there's a lot to like about beauvoir, and yours wasn't a helpful way of deconstructing her merits.
