Chapter 9 : Against the curing of womanhood

In this chapter, Shalit denounciates the movment that consists in giving women medecines to enable them to go over their emotions and feelings. Indeed as today we live in very "rational" societies; feelings, emotion and sensitivity occupy a reduce space and are barely allowed to be expressed. In relationship, one has to react scientifically to manage critical situations. Today sensitivity equal weakness and women, as usually, are the weakest sex that needs to be cured of its ability to express sensitivity. For me sensitivity distinguish Human from animals. More than being willing to cure woman sensitivity, it would be better working on men capacity to express feelings. We certainly need to act rational to survive in today global trends. At the same time doesn’t too much rationality leading to a disenchantment of the world?
yaye
