>The history of women is the history of the worst form of tyranny the world has ever known. The tyranny of the weak over the strong. It is the only tyranny that lasts.
What did Wilde mean by this?

>>8654377
That he likes boipussi obviously.
>>8654377
Women are the Jews of the sexes
I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding. He does mean women are the weaker, right?
>>8654415
Physically, yes; but said weakness is what makes them more vicious than men
Wilde meant to depict a rather arrogant poseur who says comical and wildly over the top bon mots to maintain his (Wilde and his character's) reputation for being shocking.
>>8654377
Sort of off topic, but I just read The Ballad of Reading Gaol, and holy shit it is a top tier poem.
>>8654377
That he wanted to get laid.
>>8654413
women are the niggers of the sexes
Wilde was a Nietzschean who never read Nietzsche. The parallels between their thought are very interesting.
That if you just invert a commonplace saying or belief and make it sound flippant then you come off as very witty.
I love Wolfe's work but there are a lot of times that he's just being 'decadent'. If he hadn't said this, it would never be read.

He seemed to love coming up with aphorisms involving some sort of twist.
>There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
>I can believe anything as long as it is incredible.
>There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

Said someone who's read neither.
Nietzsche, like Schopenhauer, is constantly misread as having had something against women.
It's also interesting that in De Profundis, Wilde renounced the hedonism he's so famed for.
>>8654377
That "masculine" ideals were and are borne out of the minds of women, thus creating a feminized society through the guise of attaining masculinity.
to many guys put the pussy on the pedestal.
>>8656035
hahahahaa the school of life
>>8656038
He converted to Catholicism before he died
>>8654377
It means he only had eyes for the D, so he didn't got distracted by the mischievous trickery of the evil vagina.
The big N man tried to warn us too, but we didn't listen. Now we have the society we deserve.

It's not like Nietzsche (I haven't read Schopenhauer) had something against women, but more like he had strong impression about them that doesn't really hold that well in today's world. Anyways, in "beyond good and evil" he makes a brief excuse before he starts talking about women, almost like he knew he didn't knew jack shit about women and was just shitposting about it.
