Talk:Friedrich Nietzsche's views on women

Humor

Something should be said of the humor involved in Nietzsche's remarks on women. They are the funniest passages in his writing and can be seen as simply poking fun of women, a deliberately subversive and mischievous activity. Nietzsche could have done the same for men, but probably didn't simply because he himself was a man and therefore could not have had the same sharp tongue.

Positive remarks in his writings

Shouldn't they also be included?

Problematic citation of The Will to Power

The Will to Power is a book not published by Nietzsche. It must be mentioned that it was published after his death by his sister. Writing philosophical books is always writing what you think, and in the end only a small part may make it into a final work. Actually, the citation has never been approved by Nietzsche, and while his life experience with some women lead him to write such things, he probably would have never published it (only due to the stupidness of his sister it was published at all). --178.197.227.134 (talk) 13:20, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Done. --178.197.227.134 (talk) 13:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Women as source of all folly and unreason (former sub-entry)

Leonard Lawlor and Zeynep Direk points out that: "What Nietzsche says — and repeats with hysterical insistence — is that woman is the source of all folly and unreason, the siren figure who lures the male philosopher out of his appointed truth-seeking path."

=> now, this is problematic, among other reasons, insofar as Nietzsche often has a generally sentimentalist outlook himself.
