Falling in love with critical theory..

Representation of the world, like the world itself, is the work of men; they describe it from their own point of view, which they confuse with the absolute truth

—Simone de Beauvoir; quoted by Smircich, 1985

I have never considered myself a feminist till I read the quote above. It evoked such deep empathy and comprehension within – I’m surprised! And for the record, the ideology here is sympathetic to all dominated groups, not restricted to women.
