The content of this book is powerful and important. I loved the focus on relationship influences as well as societal influences. However, it was dense and difficult to get through. I had to force myself to read this each day but I’m glad I did.

Watched the first episode of season 2 of twin peaks the night I finished this book, and it hit a lot of the same major points. Maybe Laura didn’t kill herself, but maybe she chose to die. The hotel daughter prays to Cooper.
What is the cost of your freedom? I liked thinking seriously about existentialism for the first time in a long time. While the political situation of women was a main facet of the book’s arguments, a weirdly huge gap was even just posing: what do you wish to be free to do. She talks about Beauvoir as being part of the path to emancipation with her project of writing novel existential philosophy (even if she didn’t realize it, I guess?) but leaves the emancipation discussion largely to the individual level, saying it’s something we accomplish through projects. There are a lot of limitations on the scope of this book, which is fine and I guess necessary for a book of this length. I wanted to know a little more about second wave feminism, and now I do.

وفقا لفرويد ، المازوشية هي اشتقاق ، مرحلة ثانية ، من السادية. إذا اعتبر المرء ، مثل فرويد ، أن الرغبة الجنسية هي شكل من أشكال غريزة الحفاظ على الذات ، فإن النزعة المازوشية ، بميولها المدمرة ، لا يمكن أن تكون منطقية. هذا لأن المازوشية تبدو على وجه التحديد أنها تتعارض مع غريزة الحفاظ على الذات. لحل هذا التناقض ، يقترح فرويد فرضية الارتباط الزمني بين السادية _ والتي تُفهم على أنها الرغبة (الجنسية بمعنى ما) في إحداث الألم _ والمازوشية.
يعرّف فرويد المازوشية بأنها عكس السادية ، لكنه يفسّرها على أنها شكل ثانوي منحط من السادية. في الأوهام تظهر المازوشية في الذنب: لدى الطفل رغبة سادية تتحول إلى مازوشية بسبب الذنب الذي يشعر به تجاه هذا الخيال : نابع من الذنب. المتعة تتحول إلى ألم وإذلال . لذلك لم تعد تُفهم المازوشية على أنها انحراف سلبي بل على أنها تحول دافع سادي مكبوت على الذات.

i loved what this book was saying and felt like i learned a lot, but this kind of just felt like a review of the second sex? almost like a college paper

Too philosophical. References philosophers and theories that I am not familiar with and am also not interested in. Overall too abstract and not what I was expecting based on the subtitle.
