...Second Sex” for ascribing to a masculinist paradigm. By trivializing women’s reproductive labor, the argument went, Beauvoir reinscribed the gendered binaries which she purported to deny, conflating culture with man and nature with woman. In this view, Beauvoir figured liberation as a masculine concept??as the ability to transcend the limitations of the traditionally feminine. The model of liberation that she offered woman, therein, seemed no different from the existing paradigm proffered...
...plays to fit an overarching theme, connect well aesthetically, the content overall is fragmented.

For a film based on such a simple concept??following several relationships with the most clichéd and common problems—“He’s Just Not That Into You” is surprisingly smart, touching, funny, and real. There are moments of genuine laugh-out-loud hilarity, and the film achieves it without...
