Nietzsche: Difference Between Men and Women
In Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil, he expresses his opinion on the difference between men and women. He believes that men and women are not equal. Women are the inferior gender and should be treated as such. In order for women to know their place in the world, men need to hold them accountable. But instead, men decided to feed into the stupidity of women and join them on their rise to equality, otherwise known as the feminist movement. Nietzsche not only had no respect for women and their attempt for equality; but he also had no respect for men supporting women and their feminist movement. This movement is one of the worst …show more content…

To sum it up, he thinks that women are irrelevant figures when not only compared to men but also compared to society. He summaries a part of the basis of his reasoning on women in one statement: her art is false. They would rather live false lives then to admit to the truth. Women today avoid the truth at all times and when the truth is revealed, they become discontent. Woman’s “chief concern is appearance and beauty, (Nietzsche, 226).” A woman’s concern with the material causes them to be consumed with the superficial and distracts them from meaningful activity. The philosopher further expounds on this belief stating “stupidity in the kitchen; woman as cook, (Nietzsche, 228).” Women cannot even comprehend what it means to cook and yet still demands to cook for the family. In the event that ladies were as smart as they claim to be, they would have aced the craft of cooking and would have gained from it. But instead, women are still misunderstanding the means of …show more content…

But not every male is considered to be superior beings. In the case of the relationship between men and women, there are two types of men that exist. The first type of man is a weak male. He describes this male as shallow-minded because man “will prove too short for all fundamental questions of life, and will be unable to descend into any of the depths, (Nietzsche, 230).” This man is the one that agrees with respect and equal rights, in all aspects of like, for women. The second type of man is the superior man. This man has” depth of spirit as well as of desires, and has also the depth of benevolence, (Nietzsche, 230).” This intelligent man is not troubled to be severe and harsh when treating women the way that they should be treated, unlike the weaker man. Intelligent men treat women like the Orientals do, the correct way. Intelligent men are the great men that Nietzsche

    History has repeatedly given men privilege due to their physical advantages; yet it is these same advantages that have developed into “rules” or expectations that all men should conform to in order to prove their manhood. Michael Kimmel’s essay, “‘Bros Before Hos': The Guy Code” outlines the “rules” where men are expected to never show any emotions, be brave, act knowledgeable, be risk takers, be in control, act reliable, and be competitive, otherwise they would be showing weakness which is analogous to women. It is humiliating that men associate weakness with women; they should focus on the potential of the individual rather than their gender. Most insults toward men attack their masculinity because society finds it shameful for men to be

  • Feminism Vs Masculinity

    Masculinity refers to the qualities, personality traits and roles that are associated with the male gender. In the 21st century, there has been a movement, a drive in the more socially aware sections of the world to equalize or balance out masculinity and femininity. Feminism or, at least the main stream feminism aims to find equality for the females in social, political and economical fields. Even today, as we work forward to find a middle ground for the two genders, masculinity is seen as the superior quality that only men are privileged to have. Hence, main stream feminism is so focused on emancipating women by encouraging them to let go of the ‘weaker’ feminine qualities and roles and fit themselves in a Man’s world by embracing masculinity

    Introduction Hook: Since the beginning of time, the existence of women and men has been undeniably considered as one of the integral factors that forms our society as it is today. Despite their parallel existence and contribution to the growth of the society, it was considered that women were not treated equal to men both in domestic and working circumstances, leading to a wave of movements demanding equal rights for women, known as feminism.

    Feminist literary criticism’s primary argument is that female characters have always been presented from a male’s viewpoint. According to Connell, in most literary works, female characters often play minor roles which emphasize their domestic roles, subservience and physical beauty while males are always the protagonists who are strong, heroic and dominant (qtd. in Woloshyn et al.150). This means that the women are perceived as weak and are supposed to be under the control of men. Gill and Sellers say that feminist literary criticism’s approach involves identifying with female characters in order to challenge any male centred outlook.
