Editing Peer Review
[edit]I apparently share your sentiment in regards to the frustration you experienced attempting to find which username I used to edit the page. By chance, it seems we both were remiss of our responsibility to include the exact username. However, when I opened the Edit History link, it was clear which edit you and your partner added by simply looking to the day we were in class for the assignment.
Anyway, I thought it was fitting you chose to contribute to the Simone de Beauvoir page due to our discussions of her work during class. However, one of the main principles of editing Wikipedia requires the information be from reliable source. I think the edit "Women who do not follow the domestic norm are looked down upon in society" might be considered a type of "original research." Because it's not cited, it seems like you just inferred the information about the meaning of her work on your own. Maybe you could try adding a reference that speaks about her view on how society looked at those not adhering to the domestic norm you are speaking about.
I also think it would be incredibly beneficial to the clarity of your edits if you expanded on the "Men are the default setting..." sentence. Your intentions to expand on the quote's meaning just fell a bit short. These are fairly abstract concepts that definitely warrant additional explanation as to not only what you mean by "recessive gender," but also "default setting" means in regards to sex. Clearing these issues up would strengthen the article and connect the points back to Beauvoir's efforts in the women's liberation movement.
