wait are all the digressions about women supposed to be colored by the fact that Nietzsche opens his preface to BGE with "supposing truth is a woman... what then?" that's so gay

like it's still inexcusable the crazy shit he says about women but like is that why? it just comes out of nowhere otherwise

@unmind I've been meaning to read this book https://www.upress.vir...

@nautilus sounds like a good read tbh

@nautilus i will be honest and say that any reading of nietzsche that tries to make him seem less objectionable to modern tastes always feels like a massive cope to me but i admit i haven't read him closely enough and that the esoteric strata of his utterances eludes me

@unmind I think Nietzsche’s philosophy has important contributions to feminism, but I also don’t think he wanted followers to defend everything he said
