What do you guys think about this take on feminism? Quite original rhetoric in my opinion.
""The fight for equal rights is actually a symptom of a disease: every physician knows that. - Woman, the more she is a woman, resists rights in general hand and foot: after all, the state of nature, the eternal war between the sexes, gives her by far the first rank...
"Emancipation of women" - that is the instinctive hatred of the abortive woman, who is incapable of giving birth, against the woman who is turned out well - the fight against the "man" is merely a mere means, pretext, tactic. By raising themselves higher, as "woman in herself", as the "higher woman", as a female "idealist", they want to lower the level of the general rank of woman; and there is no surer means for that than higher education, slacks, and political voting-cattle rights. At the bottom, the emancipated are anarchists in the world of the "eternally feminine", the underprivileged whose most fundamental instict is revenge"
-Nietzsche in Ecce Homo
