…humanity is male and man defines woman not in herself but as relative
to him; she is not regarded as an autonomous being … she is defined
and differentiated with reference to man and not he with reference to
her; she is the incidental, the inessential as opposed to the essential. He
is the subject, he is the absolute – she is the other.
Simone de Beauvoir, 1949:16

far removed from Love's intention.
It's from a discursive journal teasing out domestic violence and non consental prostitution.
