Otto Weininger, or, Why Woman doesn't Exist

Thanks. I'm about to read it, but I really don't expect much. The strongest aspects of Weininger's view are the ones he arrived without his Platonism and by going to statistics and case studies.

In fairness, the essay is only about his meme opinions about women.

Those are the ones I'm talking about. His view of the sexes seems pretty nearly indestructible.

I'm sure you'd like it to be

>I'm sure you'd like it to be
Not particularly, it's extremely cynical.
Can't we discuss without hysterics?

Sure. When you've read it, you can write your response. I'd be interested to read it.

stop trying to force memes

Einstein

>it's an autistic r9k faggot keeps trying to force the same shit over and over for a week
Just post "why-nigger was totally rite!!! everyone who disagrees is a stupid roastie!!!" and let's move on already. This was the extent of your thought in every shitty thread you posted anyways.

Women are simply inferior to me, and I want you to tell me that I'm right. So do that, or fuck off back to plebbit

me desu

There's literally all the evidence that women are smarter. For example how they've taken the lead over stupid males in academia by leaps and bounds

Heh, people (white men) like me created civilization and all the masterpieces. Consider yourself BTFO

I know we are on Veeky Forums but english literature and sociology are not "acedemia".

Why does irony have to be our last resort? Where is the actual evidence we are not wrong in considering women our equals?

Even if women, on a whole, are inferior, you still haven't written a work like the Tale of Genji yet, so get back out there and prove the worth of your gender rather than basking in achievements yet attained.

Equal in what?
>inb4 6000 spooks

Whatever we are proud of and measure our success by.

>'we'
>'our'
Who are these?
>'success'
Which is?

Ok, I stand corrected. Our last resort isn't irony, but semantic deconstruction of ideas without the understanding of which we couldn't even take a dump in the morning. Women are finally redeemed.

...

Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers. Nice selfie.

>Heh, people (white men) who don't shitpost on Veeky Forums and have the self-control and diligence to actually achieve great things, and are definitely in no way like me, created civilization and all the masterpieces. Consider yourself BTFO.

Corrected

Except you were the one asking (stupid) questions.

>There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus

what a faggot.
Cello is the truth.

Alright, I read it through. The beginning is mostly ad hom and platitude with some conventional morality thrown in the mix

And Zizek doesn't seem to comprehend Weininger's epistemology. He brings up the "nothingness" into which Kierkegaard sticks his finger, but it does not seem to occur to him that Weinginger's system is not impeded by this obstacle.

If anything that only proves how women are kept down by the tyrannical patriarch-king "The West" and preventing them from showing you how female-dominated educational spheres could potentially drive the world and put an end to poverty sickness abuse and etc, at the end of the day the utopia that is being held HOSTAGE by capitalist masculinity

try harder

Disprove anything I said traditionalist piece of shit. Or would that require actually loosening your grip to give women a chance?

I'm saying you're being too obvious. You're probably the OP

The purpose of psychoanalysis in Academia is to disguise an ad hominem as academic critique. There is a book by Alain Badiou where he criticises Wittgenstein's philosophy by somehow connecting it to his repressed homosexuality. For some reason a homosexual man hiding his homosexuality in inter-war England is grounds for critique.

my fucking diary desu

...

Imo Zizek would have done better simply by using examples of virtuous women. Joan of Arc, for instance.
His dismissal in poor prose reflects only on himself.

My diary desu

Came here to post this

>virtuous women
>Joan of Arc
Are you fucking kidding me?
*autistic english noises*

>Virtuous Women.
Did you read Weinigger?

controlled, not created asshole.

OP here.

I stopped posting after my initial first reply to the zizek comment.

Coming back here to see absolutely no discussion or anything of worth really made me think. It made me realise that not only is Weininger right but that he will always be rendered an esoteric figure throughout history because brainlets can't understand him.

Most people here think with henids anyway.

Woman is the symbol of a man who has lost his selfhood.
