Nietzsche On Women

On Women
“Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher
***
Women. No subject conjures up such a wide variety of thoughts and emotions for men as the female species. Women shower us with affection, bear our children, provide companionship and stability, help build our homes, and love us for reasons difficult to comprehend. They also break our balls (supposedly to improve us as men), confuse us to the point of frustration, make us laugh, make us cry (not me), break our hearts, and even prompt men to write poetry and sappy love songs. At times, they give us reason for living; other times they are a royal pain in the ass. Yet, despite the risk and the hassle, the urge to be with them …show more content…

Men need women and women need men, even if they speak different languages. Most people, male or female, tend to want the same thing in varying degrees. Women want a family, security, comfort, happiness, nice clothes and good sex. With the possible exception of the family, don’t men want the same thing?
Regular women (non-prostitutes), semi-pros (women who may have a regular job but for additional income will go with men for a price) and finally, working girls (prostitutes). The phrase, working girls includes go-go dancers, freelancers (usually in discos) and beer bar girls,
One extremely important point – it should always be remembered that working girls are not regular girls, no matter how regular they seem. They may give you a girlfriend experience (GFE) but they are not prostituting themselves because you’re handsome – although you may be - they’re doing so because they’re willing to sell their time and bodies for much needed income. This brings us back to the golden rule; don’t get emotionally involved with a working girl. I can’t stress it enough. You wouldn’t do so back home and it’s no different elsewhere.
The prostitute knows the interaction is a business transaction. If given the chance, the more intelligent ones turn the transaction into a pseudo love affair, thus maximizing her potential, long-term

  • Susan Foh And Phyllis Trible: Feminist Interpretations Of The Bible

    1933 Words  | 8 Pages

    Feminist interpretations of the Bible are very scarce, but Susan Foh and Phyllis Trible grapple with the role of women in Genesis 1-3. Susan Foh, a Christian scholar, wrote on Genesis 1-3 with the fundamental thesis that men and women are equally blessed in the image of God, or ontologically equal, but the creation stories designate a functional difference where man is the head and woman is subordinate. In Genesis 2, the man was created before the woman, and Foh uses the order of creation as evidence that women are subordinate. In contrast, Phyllis Trible’s fundamental theses in her essays aim to depatriarchalize interpretations of the Bible and argue that men and women are equal. Trible highlights that the temporality of creation in the second

    For instance, Daisy states that the best thing a girl could be in this world was “a beautiful little fool” (22). Daisy hinted at the fact that it was much harder for women to be independent so they were often left with no future and no education and the only thing they could do to preserve themselves was to be beautiful and rely on their husbands. Even in today’s society, it is much tougher for women to find a job than it is for men as employers typically believe men can do the job better. For example, in athletics, the players who bring in revenue are the ones who will be suited for the job. Most of the time men play at a higher level of competition so they earn more money than their female counterparts.

  • Summary Of Guys Suffer From Oppressive Gender Roles Too

    890 Words  | 4 Pages

    In “Guys Suffer from Oppressive Gender Roles Too,” author Julie Zeilinger makes it clear that men’s actions, personalities, and identities are contrived based on society’s expectations. These expectations shove boys and men into a character-like attitude, preventing them from truly discovering themselves. With a society that decides to adhere to these gender roles, any sign of being different from the rest of the world tends to generate a negative reaction. Accepting and learning about gender roles is established at a young age, for anyone of that matter. Whether it be during school, through any form of media, or even from our own friends and family, gender roles are expectations that many boys and men tend to feel threatened by.

  • Sex Trafficking: Modern Day Slavery

    1181 Words  | 5 Pages

    Sex Trafficking is a form of modern day slavery that exists throughout the United States and globally. It is one of the biggest lies in society (Farley et., 2014). The Vanderbilt Law Review indicates that the majority of prostitutes do not enter the prostitution lifestyle on their own free will choice, but instead becomes a prostitute due to a variety of vulnerabilities that both pimps and traffickers exploit. This explains why young women get blindsided and think they are becoming a prostitute when in reality they are a sex trafficking victim (Elrod 2015). When the United States made prostitution illegal, it did not change the mentality of the johns.

  • Cult Of True Womanhood Essay

    In 2020 it will be 100 years since women obtained the right to vote in the United States. Since the women’s suffrage began, women have been fighting for the right to be equal to men. After years and years of being treated as if they were property and not a person, a group of women decided that they weren’t going to take it anymore, they wanted to have a voice in everything a man had a voice in. The women were fighting against what they called a “Cult of True Womanhood” which is defined by History.com as “the idea that the only ‘true’ woman was a pious, submissive wife and mother concerned exclusively with home and family” (The Fight for Women’s Suffrage, 2009). Let’s go back to where the fight all started in 1848 when reformers Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott invited a group of activist men and women to Seneca Falls, New York to talk about women’s rights.

    Hesse has shown how women are classified by their stereotypes such as helping/pleasing their husband, cooking, and having no real jobs. An example of this in the book is Kamala because she was a prostitute who married Siddhartha. “ One can beg, buy, be presented with and find love in the streets, but it can never be stolen” (Hesse 55).

The author shows how female hatred is represented so clearly because after Siddhartha left her she died to a snake.

    This theme relates to the real world because gender inequality is a problem that has been faced throughout history. In many cultures in the past, women were in-charge of domestic work while men took the roles of public life. Be that as it may, both men and women took equally important roles; however, because of the longstanding gender bias in the world, the roles of men in society were glorified more than the roles of women. Today, gender inequality still exists in the world. Specifically, today’s women are faced with sexist comments and attitudes from men that put women down.

    And since the customers in strip clubs are also men, the idea that “men are more powerful and dominant than women” is further reinforced because they are the ones being served at in strip clubs; they were the ones paying the female strippers. These lead men to treat women as weaker and lower than them. Prostitutes and whores are words which pertain to women who do this kind of ‘job’. In countries like the Australia and New Zealand, the term sex work is the most accepted term they use to pertain to this kind of job, however here in the Philippines, the term prostituted woman is used to pertain to those who strip and dance in strip clubs (Ditmore 2006).

  • Oedipus The King Feminist Criticism Essay

    790 Words  | 4 Pages

    Oedipus the King: A Feminist Criticism Gender plays a fundamental role in the lives of people, and forever remains an indelible divisor throughout all societies (Gregory 216). When it comes to patriarchal societies, gender becomes a sensitive issue, with the feminine sex always in a constant battle to gain equal privileges as their masculine counterparts. In the ancient Greek tragedy “Oedipus Rex”, the playwright assertively upholds the patriarchal bias that was characteristic of Athens’s Golden age (Smith and Ferstman 33). Clearly, the play Oedipus Rex is built on a candidly staunch masculine outline, but in a way, the outcome of events is not as obvious as an ordinary chauvinistic play would make it. Thus, in unravelling the controversial

  • Ethical Ethics Of Prostitution

    1687 Words  | 7 Pages

    Furthermore prostitution cannot be deemed immoral as prostitution itself is a trade similar to many other jobs in the society. A person’s right to sell their sexual services is neither more nor less of a right than that of person selling their labour-power in any other of its multifaceted forms. For example a person doing manual labour is selling his/her body, a writer sells her mind and a bodyguard or wrestler sells the services of their body. The feminist argument is that, Prostitution is merely a job of work and the prostitute is a worker, like any other wage labourer (Patemen, 2010, p.9). Many people believe that the act of prostitution involves buying another person for money, this is not the case.
