The Subjection of Women
The Subjection of Women
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
How does inequality, accepted under the name of custom, paralyze our reason?
📝ONGO's Reflection
What astonished me most in reading this book was the cool clarity of reason shown by a nineteenth-century philosopher. Mill logically dismantles the subordination of women, long dressed up as something "natural," revealing it as a thoroughly constructed structure of power. His weighty warning—that a society which oppresses ends by corroding even the reason of the oppressor—poses a question that holds true before any form of discrimination.

"인간의 본성이라고 불리는 것의 대부분은 인위적인 결과물일 뿐이다."

Look for a custom or prejudice you accept uncritically as 'just the way it's always been,' and question where it truly came from.
