"a military jet flew overhead, dropping an explosive that tore apart the new building and most of the people in it.
Moments after the blast, which shook buildings miles away, a helicopter gunship appeared over the building site, shooting methodically at those who remained alive. Dozens of people, many already injured, died trying to crawl to safety" #GiftArticlehttps://wapo.st/3Kr3Y1C

No #biological, #psychological, or #economic destiny defines the figure that the #human#female acquires in #society; it is #civilization as a whole that develops this product, intermediate between female and #eunuch, which one calls #feminine. Only the mediation of another can establish an #individual as an #Other. In so far as he exists for himself, the #child would not be able to understand himself as sexually differentiated. In #girls as in #boys the #body is first of all the radiation of a #subjectivity, the instrument that accomplishes the comprehension of the world: it is through the eyes, the hands, and not through the sexual parts that children apprehend the universe."
—Simone de #Beauvoir, philosopher and social theorist, in The Second Sex (1949)
