Camus’s emphasis on freedom and mutual responsibility invites individuals to transcend prescribed roles rather than endorse existing power imbalances. By focusing on personal choice, he challenges both men and women to question societal norms, arguing that authenticity emerges when each takes ownership of their identity. Critics who demand a detailed analysis of structural inequalities might overlook that Camus’s project is existential—he prioritizes the transformation of consciousness over systemic critique. His framework suggests that genuine change begins with individuals rejecting predetermined roles, offering a radical, if abstract, pathway to overcoming historical constraints.
