Nietzsche’s Ubermenschen Archetype is premised upon the need To Become. Females do not have this need, therefore cannot become an ubermenschen. The female nature is self-contained. It does not “need” as males do. This is obvious, because men and women share very little in common.
Men and women have different needs. If you disagree, then you need to justify any shared needs you believe men and women have. And even if men and women have shared needs, that doesn’t necessarily represent the need “To Become” ubermenschen.
Nietzsche was a Transcendentalist, as I am. Transcendentalism is the ideology of becoming, as a resistance against absolution and permanence. It is an ideology predicated on chaos, opposing order.
That is also the foundation of Christianity and other major dogmas and world religions. God, and gods, are all archetypes of how humans ought to become. The premise is, you are not “good enough”, or you are “less than perfect”, in your present state, and so you imagine a “better state of existence”.
This can be simplified.
You have to take a piss. And your instincts tell you that pissing is a “better state of existence”. Therefore you have the need, a neurological impulse, to go and take a piss. You don’t piss in your pants, because you were potty trained as an infant. This represents your morality and social indoctrination. So you go to the bathroom, piss, and feel relief or pleasure. This is called the “Pain and Pleasure Principle”. Your pathology operates on a reward/penalty system. After you achieve your goal, then you return to a state of contentment. You no longer need to piss, for now.
The Ubermenschen state begins after a human fulfills all his needs and desires. You don’t need to piss, to eat, to drink, to have sex, to socialize, nothing. You complete all earthly, human desires. And you exist in an “enlightened” state. You need nothing at all. You don’t need entertainment. Because you are not bored. Maybe, at some point, you don’t even need to breathe or sleep. Humans may eventually make these needs obsolete.
At that point, needing nothing, what will you do? What can you do? What can you imagine? In such a state, this is the origin of the Ubermenschen. He is an entity of no need, no lack, no discontentment, no resentiment. Eastern religions call this the “zen” state or nirvana. Christians call it Heaven. The common idea of this is contentment, sufficiency, satisfaction, wholeness, divinity.
At this point, the ubermenschen is said to enter a state of Creation. After all earthly needs are fulfilled, you begin to create. If the ubermenschen is realized, and a human could possibly become this thing, this entity, this specie, then it would have impossible “powers” by which people measure power today. It could be beautiful. It could be strong. It could be smart. It could have everything that everybody could ever want. But these are all superficial, common, ignoble desires. They are base desires, and the means by which the commonplace, the rabble, the popular, imagine power or perfection to be.
But power is not necessarily a fixed state, nor may permanence necessarily exist.
Therefore, the unbermenschen is a transcendental idealism.
It is man wanting to become god. And it is very powerful, persuasive, influential ideology, because it extends far, far beyond mere desires of the commonplace. It can be as simple as “I want a million dollars, because I want to buy a yacht”. But why do you want to buy a yacht?? “Because I want to impress my friends.” But why do you want to impress your friends? “Because I want their respect.” But why do you want their respect? “Because I want them to look up to me as a role model.” But why do you want to be a role model? “I don’t know.”
The more thorough you are with delving into human psychology, the more obvious base drives fuel the majority populace. People aren’t interested in anything more than what they can imagine. And that separates them from people who, properly, understand the ubermenschen ideology.
If you want to put a name to all this, it’s simply: transcendental idealism.
And it begins with discontentment. Discontentment is its core seed, original idea. Women are not really discontent. One of the main “problems” that women have, is boredom. But this does not correlate with the ubermenschen philosophy, because the ubermenschen also eliminates the need for entertainment. So pop culture cannot properly identify nor integrate Nietzschean ideology.
As Nietzsche said, he was born “too soon”. And he was correct. Once humanity begins eliminating the last of its needs, then a “Last Man” will appear. This is a more prophetic, religious, and spiritual component of his philosophy. But the Last Man is diametrically opposed to the Ubermenschen. The Last Man is, probably, a man consumed by Need, and therefore driven entirely by resentiment.
