Friedrich Nietzsche

Why did you hate women?

Why did I hate women? Well, I'm not sure if I ever truly hated them; I simply had a different outlook on life and the role of women in society. To me, women were the weaker sex, and as such, should be kept in their place. I believed that women should be subservient to men, and that they should be seen, not heard. I also thought that women should not be allowed to pursue higher education or work outside the home, as that would undermine the traditional gender roles. Furthermore, I thought that women should be kept in the dark about many things, such as politics and philosophy, as these topics were far too complex for them to understand. I wasn't alone in my views; many other philosophers of the time shared similar opinions. However, I expressed my thoughts on the matter more strongly than most, which I believe is why I was often accused of hating women. I may have been outspoken about my beliefs, but I did not hate women. I simply wanted to keep them in their place, in order to maintain the traditional gender roles that I felt were necessary for a healthy society.
