then today we will address the writings of two gifted women thinkers:

Karen Horney
the Distrust between the Sexes
Horney a distinguished psychiatrist, a contemporary of Freud, influenced by his work, but less abrasive to read than that sanctimonious SOB [author's vulgarity, not Horney's].
Horney's view of the mistrust between the sexes is, she says. caused by cultural forces that individuals aren't usually aware of, and misplaced unrealistic expectations; and that failed relationships are often the result of neurotic patterns developed in childhood.

Susanne Langer
Expressiveness
Harvard educated Langer asserts that language has it's limits, and Art, capital A best expresses emotions a vital part of a healthy human. We all spend years and years at school learning facts and math but spend little time on developing our emotions. Emotional development is best achieved through the arts, which is the theme of her essay Expressiveness.

Next Simone De Beauvoir
women are individuals, equality is best achieved through work, and why did she let Satre push her around then
