That's an interesting question. I did my best to explain my view in my first reply to you, but you seem pretty hostile to my point of view, and I don't have the time to discuss this in depth. If you're interested, I recommend you consult the available literature on Nietzsche's views on women, like Nesbitt Oppel's Nietzsche on Gender, which argues that though his writings often use misogynistic language, his views on women are deeper and don't reveal personal misogyny, more the opposite. I quoted his question about truth as a woman because I find it witty and thought-provoking, and my qualifier of "somewhat misogynistic" points to his use of the stereotyped image of women as basically irrational.


>I recommend you consult the available literature on Nietzsche's views on women

So what you're saying is that I'm right, there's nothing in that statement which shows anything less then the best respect for women, but because of other views that person holds those words, in and of themselves, are now /irreparably tainted/.

There is no talking to morons like you.


I could say something about "context," but you've already decided that I'm a moron not worth talking to, so it seems pointless.
