- Simone de Beauvoir

About this Quote

This quote by Simone de Beauvoir talks to the pervasive gender inequality that has actually existed throughout history. It recommends that men, even those who are thought about to be mediocre, feel a sense of supremacy over ladies. This is because of the truth that males have typically been seen as the dominant gender, with females relegated to a subordinate function. This quote highlights the power imbalance in between men and women, and how it has been used to oppress ladies and keep them from attaining their complete potential. It also serves as a tip of the value of continuing to defend gender equality and to challenge the status quo. By doing so, we can create a more equitable society where everyone is appreciated and provided the exact same opportunities.
