Essay / Research Paper Abstract
8 pages in length. Elisabeth Badinter's Fausse Route might be considered one of the most scathing accounts of gender separation ever put into print. The author, whose personal reflections of the inequities of a patriarchal society equate to a vilification in the greatest sense, believes women have long had the ability to control their own destinies but have been wholly incapable of doing so; her final conclusion is things will not get any better in the coming years if women do not find their backbone and stand up for their autonomy. This fatalistic approach to the man/woman battle that has existed for ages illustrates the extent to which Badinter (2003) decries this perpetuated gender oppression. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

this regression is attributed to the all-out demonizing of such male-oriented activities as pornography and prostitution, two aspects of society she claims have reinvented gender inequality because so much negative
attention has been brought to light. "According to Badinter, the kind of feminism that criticizes the consumption and the marketing of sex is to be held responsible for the
revival of sexual stereotypes, which were about to disappear! She makes the struggle to legalize pornography and prostitution into a priority stake in the redefinition of the relations between
men and women and their mutual liberties" (Audet, 2003). Being that Badinter (2003) "agrees with the intensification of sexual stereotypes during childhood, the liberalization of prostitution and accuses feminists
of Puritanism for their presumed inability to take into account the new currents of sexuality" (Audet, 2003), it is easy to see why so many criticize her perspective. In
