最近沉迷学习，休息的时候读一本书，叫做《第二性》，目的给自己打下直男癌疫苗。原著是法语，读的英文版，从book two woman's life today 开始阅读，非常有意思，每天阅读20分钟，争取一周分享一些有意思的想法和句子。然后我没有在翻译，必然有些词语很羞涩的就用英文代替了。还是没有什么逻辑可言，只是觉得有意思，就摘录两句。
印象最深句子：（据说是本书最经典的一句话）
One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. No bilological, psychological, or economic fate determines the figure that the human female presents in society; it is civilization as a whole that produces this creature, intermediate bewteen male and eunuch, which is described as feminine.
女人并不是生而为女人，而是整个文化环境塑造了女人。

经典句子
The world is at first represented in the newborn infant only by immanent sensations; he is still immersed in the bosom of the Whole as he was when he lived in a dark womb.
开始的时候男孩女孩都在妈妈肚子里，直到出生，出生之后小孩都哭，想要回到以前，所以
He attempts to deny the separation: rushing into his mother's arms, he seeks her living warmth and demands her caresses. And he attempts to find self-justification through the approbation of others.
以上这些对于很小的男女孩都一样，稍大一些之后，男孩被教导小男孩不应该这样那样
“a man doesn't ask to be kissed”
“a man doesn't look at himself in mirrors”
“a man doesn't cry”
从此开始，男孩渐渐被拒绝，但是女孩依然被允许向母亲撒娇等等特权，差异就此开始。
有人提出过，这样的区别是 one form of orientation towards homosexuality
男孩们被教导 the boys seems at first to be less favoured than his sister, it is because great things are in store for him.
【直男癌的种子从小埋下】
稍微长大一些之后，男女小朋友最大的区别在于urination
to urinate, she is required to crouch, uncover herself, and therefore hide: a shameful and inconvenient procedure.
相比之下，小男孩方便很多
以弗洛伊德为首的人们认为女孩从小会因为男孩有penis而感到嫉妒甚至自卑
波伏娃不以为然，觉得这是直男癌思想，不过波伏娃提出一个有趣的观点。
To compensate for this and to serve her as alter ego, she is given a foreign object: a doll.
这里用foreign形成对比，而且doll 本质上是一个passive object 小女孩在玩儿doll的同时其实也thinks of herself as a marvellous doll进而 dreams of being cuddled and dressed up herself.
