Pat hates women so Ben tries to remedy this by teaching him the existentialist feminism of French philosopher/sex addict Simone de Beauvoir. Born Simone Lucie Ernestine Marie Bertrand de Beauvoir, she quickly became known for her intellectual precociousness, going tête à tête with existentialist poster boy (and future fuck buddy) Jean Paul Sartre, writing award winning novels, and outlining a stunning theory on why women have been relegated to a derivative version of human consciousness through the abuses of the patriarchy in her seminal work "The Second Sex". One reason: Women be shopping (says Simone) and they need to fucking stop. Also, Pat thought she was black LOL.
