I have noticed that you tend to be a bit of a softy (in other words, one of your weaker spots) when it comes to protecting the fairer sex. Tongue

Perpend a juxtaposition which modern simpletons will not understand:

In essentially the same passage as in which Nietzsche praised the natural strength of womankind, and for example hailed Napoleon’s mother for having gained “power and ascendancy over men” through her “force of will”, he also urged European men to see Woman “as Orientals do”: As “a possession, as confinable property”.

Thereupon, observe how the feminists with daddy issues want (or pretend to want) one part, and

wish for the other part, and nobody integrates these concepts properly.

I dislike feeling as if I were quoting chapter and verse (Beyond Good and Evil, #238–239); I have my own ideas, thank you very much. But then, perhaps I should leave some ambiguity about my personal opinions—let’s just say that from my high respect for women, I have learned a feminine coyness. Moreover, it is remarkable that in the 1880s, Nietzsche’s philosophy of a beneficial antagonism between the sexes anticipated current scientific theories of sexual selection and evolutionary psychology. He cared about heirs, you see—not so much personal heirs, but in the abstract, the evolutionary heirs of Man.

Also, in the 1880s, he condemned “modern ideas” and “the sensitive and pampered taste of a democratic century”, i.e. the Nineteenth Century.

Quote from: Nietzsche (Thus Spake Zarathustra)

Two different things wanteth the true man: danger and play. Therefore wanteth he woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

I am surely NOT proclaiming such proclivities to be a bad thing (even if a potential weakness). Wink
