If not, then I can understand the analogy you enjoin when you draw a line between Rust and Steve Klabnik. Nobody has to know anything about Steve Klabnik to be able to parse Rust or a syntax guide to Rust.
Feminism is different when you consider that each of us experiences the world through a gender lens, particularly when you consider that many of us are unaware that the lens exists and occludes our vision as well as forms it.
How do people of a gender you don't share experience the world? I'm not sure how you'd know until you listened to them describe their lived experience.
In the case of Beauvoir, you are fortunate. Her life bridges a gap between pre-feminism and post-feminist worlds. If you love talking about gender and sexuality, Beauvoir's life is fertile grounds for many interesting conversations you may enjoy with other people of all genders for the rest of your life.
