Philosophy Spotlight: Friedrich Nietzsche!

"Ah, Women- They make the highs higher, and the lows more frequent"

"Woman! One-half of mankind is weak, typically sick, changeable, inconstant... she needs a religion of weakness that glorifies being weak, loving, and being humble as divine: or better, she makes the strong weak--she rules when she succeeds in overcoming the strong... Woman has always conspired with the types of decadence, the priests, against the 'powerful', the 'strong', the men"

"Woman's love involves injustice and blindness against everything that she does not love... Woman is not yet capable of friendship: women are still cats and birds. Or at best, cows."

"From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than truth—her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty."

"What inspires respect for woman, and often enough even fear, is her nature, which is more “natural” than man’s, the genuine, cunning suppleness of a beast of prey, the tiger’s claw under the glove, the naiveté of her egoism, her uneducability and inner wildness, the incomprehensibility, scope, and movement of her desires and virtues."

"In revenge and in love, woman is more barbaric than man."

"Women learn how to hate in the same proportion that they unlearn how to charm."

"Luckily, I have no desire to let myself be torn apart: the perfect woman tears apart what she loves."

"Everything in woman is a riddle, and everything in woman has one solution—that is pregnancy. For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.”

Women are all skilful in exaggerating their weaknesses, indeed they are inventive in weaknesses, so as to seem quite fragile ornaments to which even a grain of dust does harm,”

"Women are manipulative, dangerous creatures who only feign weakness in order to beguile man and “defend themselves against the strong and the ‘law of the jungle."

"Woman is incomparably more evil than man, cleverer too; goodness in woman is a form of degeneration… There is a physiological disaster at the bottom of all so-called ‘beautiful souls’, – I won’t say everything or else I will become medi-cynical. The struggle for equal rights is actually a symptom of disease: every doctor knows this. – The woman, the more of a woman she is, fights tooth and nail against rights in general: after all, the natural state of things, the eternal war between the sexes, gives her the highest rank by far. Did anyone have ears for my definition of love? It is the only one worthy of a philosopher. – Love – its method is warfare, its foundation is the deadly hatred between the sexes. – Did anyone hear my answer to the question of how to cure – ‘redeem’ – a woman? Give her a baby. Women need children, the man is only ever the means: thus spoke Zarathustra. – ‘Emancipation of women’ – that is the instinctive hatred of failed women, which is to say infertile women, against those who have turned out well, – the fight against ‘men’ is only ever a means, pretext, tactic. By elevating themselves as the ‘women an sich’, as the ‘higher women’, as the ‘idealists’ of women, they want to lower the rank of women in general; there is no surer means of doing this than secondary education, trousers, and the right to belong to the political herd of voters. Emancipated women are basically anarchists in the world of the ‘eternal-feminine’, people in bad shape whose bottom-most instinct is revenge… An entire species of the most vicious ‘idealism’ – you find this in men as well, by the way, in Henrik Ibsen, for instance, this typical old maid – sets out to poison the good conscience, the natural aspects of sexual love… And to leave no doubt as to my convictions, which are as principled as they are strict in this matter, I will communicate another proposition against vice from out of my moral code: I use the word ‘vice’ to fight against every type of anti-nature or, if you like pretty words, idealism."
