Polish term or phrase: przekręt
W poniższej pracy autorka omawia poddaną analizie przez de Beauvoir kwestię istnienia i konstruowania mitów budujących patriarchalny porządek świata. Za pomocą oszukańczych odwróceń (przekrętów) wielbiciele mitów przedstawiają fikcję jako prawdę, a destrukcję jako dobro.
