There a few howlers, alright, and in general one doesn't exactly get a good impression of the translation. It is kind of shocking that there still isn't a good translation of such an important book in such a major language.

Re: The Second Sex is such tedious language wrapped around some rather interesting ideas.

Sounds like that might be the translator's fault. Read it in French?

I have the translation by H.M. Parshley and it's great.

I just read it - thanks for pointing it out. I don't think I can agree with the critique, though.
