When Simone de Beauvoir called pregnancy ‘mutilation’ and the foetus a ‘parasite,’ modern feminism was born.
Stillborn. Here's why:

‘The Second Sex’ set the agenda for modern women
- Smash the patriarchy
- “Freedom” from motherhood
- “Fulfilment” from careers

Although abortion was illegal, Beauvoir set up an abortion station in her Paris salon
She’d had two abortions herself.
To her, the foetus was a ‘parasite’ and ‘nothing like flesh.’
Abortion was a woman’s “right”.
And the true price of "free" love.

Beauvoir was in an open relationship with Sartre.
Her novel ‘The Broken Woman’ is about the psychological damage this did to her.
She also lost a teaching post for seducing schoolgirls.

Beauvoir signed a petition to decriminalise paedophilia.

In denying the link between womanhood and motherhood, feminism led to trans.
Kinzey’s 842-page book on female sexuality didn’t mention motherhood once.
If women are 'not born', as Beauvoir said, why can't a man become a woman?
Like Frankenstein, feminism created a monster.

Nearing the end of her life, with her looks gone, Beauvoir looked into the mirror and said she wished she’d given birth.
Feminism is misogyny.
It tells women they’re only valuable to the extent that they mimic men.
