It's a great translation, with clear dialogue and it gets the idea across really well. It is so good, actually, that I never bothered to research alternate translations!

Yikes. One does wonder why they couldn't afford a more experienced translator.

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