Sartre & Beauvoir on Feminism & Relationships

Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir discuss feminism, relationships, and children. And then they play checkers.

I love that she calls him Sartre even though he's literally her boyfriend

[mishynaofficial]

Two brilliant philosophers, feminists, free spirits, who have never been married and had no children, capable of mutual respect, free sexual relations and intellectual conversations. Inspiring.

I dont agree, i dont see eye to eye with Jean Paul Sartre.

[jackominty]

Great to see these titans of the intellect battling it out on the checkers board.

Sartre always have 2 visions on any subject. 👀 Great dialogue, jokes apart :)

[charlesbukowski]

She doesn't want her kid to look like Sartre

Two absolute legends. So cool to actually hear their voice.

Haha! C'est super intéressant de voir la dynamique qu'ils avaient en action de voir comment De Beauvoir sauta sur l'occasion de se faire entendre et la réaction de Sartre de simplement la laisser s'exprimer. Quel utilisation simple et directe du mot reproduction en relation à la question d'avoir des enfants, ça me donne l'impression qu'ils avaient tous deux un certain sens de l'humour.

They were a grotesque display of narcissism.

[raymemichaels]

I fucking love those two, and I think “The Ethics of Ambiguity” is one of the most incredible and important books ever written!

[Danyel]

They are legends indeed. I often feel conflicted on how here they mention living their relationship "unfortunately, at the expense of others". What they thought about the age of consent and the affairs they had with underage teenagers is always very confusing given how consistent they were with everything else.

A toad of a man and a domineering woman both believing they have outplayed their own human existence with intellectual pretension. A miserable relationship indeed.

[ajeetalbert]

If the idea of "lived experienced" holds the highest priority, the whole essence of discussion in any topic becomes a waste of time. With respect to this particular issue on Gender, the so calles lived experience differs between men and women. So, does it mean men and women can never understand each other and the whole idea of men's rights or women's rights is pointless?
A psychologist need not suffer from trauma to help a patient with PTSD. A male gynecologist has a better understanding on premenstrual syndrome and menopause than a common women.
Hence, I believe any criticism or contradiction to someone's statement should come from the basis of a deeper understanding of the subject rather than a superificial judgement on gender.

I was hoping they would talk extensively about the pimping and rape of underage girls, matters on which they had such a rich and varied experience.

To quote Spengler: "When the ordinary thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard “having children” as a question of pro’s and con’s, the great turning point has come. For Nature knows nothing of pro and con…. When reasons have to be put forward at all in a question of life, life itself has become questionable."

[percycesar]

Strange philosophers and sometimes dangerous.

[olarybiec]

"I didn't want a model of Sartre. He was enough. I didn't want a model of myself. I was enough."

[ajithu]

Lovely one. We are lucky to witness their direct interview

[batsattacks]

A bunch of groomers that's what they are. Creeps.

[zaxapitsa]

and women can't share the "lived experience" of men, which might dramatically change. In her context there was absolutely no need to point that out, but that was long ago.
