have some french theory: "[Simone de] Beauvoir goes on to analyse the average French male need to reduce her to a sexual object as a knee-jerk reaction to feeling that their superiority was being questioned.

Do you Know what? I was just reading an article on the Guardian yesterday that mentioned Simone de Beauvoir. It was about French women compared to their British counterparts and was written by Zoe Williams, who can come up with the goods better than others, at least when she is making a point about being a woman or talking about women.
