[T]he main problem with women is not that their brains lack something -- although I am sure that to a certain, very small degree perhaps, this must also be true. The main problem with women is that the healthier, prettier among them are too busy caring about how they look, finding attractive and rich sexual partners, making and raising children, etc., to have any time left over for truly challenging intellectual pursuits; while the abortive women, on the other hand, i.e. the ugly, the less obsessed with sex and prettiness, or kids and so on and so forth, DO sometimes find the time to engage with philosophy, but history has shown that they never get very far with it. And this is why: EXACTLY BECAUSE they are ugly, and generally abortive. Their lack of success with men and related-womanly activities (child-raising, etc.) make them psychologically disposed to SLANDER these activities, and to attempt to elevate the status and prestige of their own abortive condition: as "woman-in-herself", as Nietzsche would put it; as woman of equal status with men, and indeed with everything that exists; as women not even needing men in the last resort (and how absurd is a woman that does not need a man? Is there anything more abortive in the world than that? Just as abortive as a man who doesn't need women -- capacity for procreation here being the standard of abortiveness). In the end they even go as far as to demand that men should not like pretty women -- because this makes the ugly ones feel uncomfortable: that's what lies at the bottom of all "gender roles" issues: those who are BAD at these roles, instead of acknowledging this fact and striving to improve themselves (for this takes too much work), opt instead to SLANDER and attempt to bring into disrepute the very idea of roles.
