The Logic of "Womanliness as a Masquerade" by Joan Riviere

Joan Riviere’s ‘Womanliness as a Masquerade’, written in 1929 through psychoanalysis, wanted to show that all people were born bisexual. The main goal of this essay was to discuss how women who wished to become masculine or desired masculinity might put on a mask of womanliness as a sort of protection to avoid the wrath and violence of men and to alleviate anxiety. It is seen in this article, the subject (an American intellectual woman) has a good relationship with her husband and enjoys frequent sexual pleasure with him; she is very successful in her profession (whether as a housewife or in her professional life); she has a high degree of reality adaptability.

His bond with his master improves in several forms that resulted in a drastic serie...

Introduction to Critical Thinking

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between probability and possibility? Let's start with a definition of the term "probability." This is the likelihood of something happening. To put it another way, probability represents the possibility of an event occurring. It's usually measured as the proportion of favourable cases to the total number of likely causes. As a result, the probability can see of as a subset of the concept of possibility. The term "possibility" refers to the ability for something to happen or be done. When we say, "Is there any possibility for you to attend an online class on a Saturday afternoon?" for example, the speaker is questioning the listener's capacity to be there for a specific reason. In such a situation, the term "probability" would be inappropriate. This is because when individuals ask about another person's ability to achieve something, they use the word possibility. Just because somethin...
