WORKSHEET OF “THE SECOND SEX”


(Volume I “Facts and Myths” Introduction)

Instructions: While reading the text, pay attention to the parts of the texts below and restate
them in your own words (this is called a paraphrase). 3 points each.

Page Original Text Paraphrase


#
23 “So not every female human being is (1)
necessarily a woman; she must
take part in this mysterious and endangered
reality known as
femininity”.
23-24 “But conceptualism has lost ground: (2)
biological and social sciences no longer
believe there are immutably determined
entities that define given characteristics
like those of the woman, the Jew, or the
black; science considers characteristics as
secondary reactions to a situation.”
26 “Humanity is male, and man defines (3)
woman, not in herself, but in
relation to himself; she is not considered
an autonomous being.”
29 “That is, in the master-slave relation, the (4)
master does not posit the need he has for
the other; he holds the power to satisfy this
need and does not mediate it; the slave, on
the other hand, out of dependence, hope, or
fear,
internalizes his need for the master;
however equally compelling the
need may be to them both, it always plays
in favor of the oppressor over the
oppressed: this explains the slow pace of
working-class liberation, for example.”
30 “Hence woman makes no claim for (5)
herself as subject because she lacks the
concrete means, because she senses the
necessary link connecting her to man
without positing its reciprocity, and
because she often derives satisfaction from
her role as Other”.
31-32 “But there are deep analogies between the (6)
situations of women and blacks: both are
liberated today from the same
paternalism, and the former master caste
wants to keep them ‘in their place,’ that is,
the place chosen for them; in both cases,
they praise, more or less sincerely, the
virtues of the “good black,” the carefree,
childlike, merry soul of the resigned black,
and the woman who is a ‘true woman’—
frivolous, infantile, irresponsible, the
woman subjugated to man.”
33 “One of the benefits that oppression (7)
secures for the oppressor is that the
humblest among them feels superior: in the
United States a ‘poor white’ from the
South can console himself for not being a
‘dirty nigger’; and more prosperous
whites cleverly exploit this pride.
34 “Those who are not threatened by their (8)
fellow men are far more likely to recognize
woman as a counterpart; but even for them
the myth of the Woman, of the Other,
remains precious for many
reasons; they can hardly be blamed for not
wanting to lightheartedly sacrifice all the
benefits they derive from the myth: they
know what they lose by relinquishing the
woman of their dreams, but they do not
know what the woman of tomorrow will
bring them.”
35 “We will not let ourselves be intimidated (9)
by the number and violence of attacks
against women; nor be fooled by the self-
serving praise showered on the ‘real
woman’; nor be won over by men’s
enthusiasm for her destiny, a destiny they
would not for the world want to share.”
37 “But what singularly defines the situation (10)
of woman is that being, like all humans, an
autonomous freedom, she discovers and
chooses herself in a world where men
force her to assume herself as Other: an
attempt is made to freeze her as an object
and doom her to immanence, since her
transcendence will be forever transcended
by another essential and sovereign
consciousness.”

Instructions

1. Prepare three topics that are related to the texts you have read (in this case, gender) and a

2. Consult with your teacher about your topic and wait for your teacher to approve one.

established publications such as the Philippine Daily Inquirer; (3) official
websites; (4) Wikipedia and others like it; (5) blogs.
 Unless your pop culture text happens to be Facebook pages, please do not cite

summarize, paraphrase, and quote.
5. Write your paper with the correct accreditation format. Ensure that you have (1)

otherwise specified by your teacher). It should not go beyond 2500 words.
