The morality of the European was evolved at a time that women were subjugated- kept silent. Our morality was made by men and for men, with their particular impulses in mind, as the virtue of chastity. This is why women cannot understand morality- fundamentally they are all immoral. It is not because they are less intelligent, but because they never had any part in the creation of our morality, which is an image of masculine nature and cannot be made to coincide with their own.
Of course women can appear moral in our sense of the word, they can follow “the letter of the law” and yet they have no true understanding of it. And this is why we cannot understand them. Even for those men who have rejected morality, they still think in terms of it: it is much harder to reject the categories of moral understanding, which survive vestigially in almost all of our art, philosophy, even our language. Even the prototype of the moral world order, ethos-- constituted by such ideas as virtue, honor, etc. was evolved by the acts of men- in writing, war, politics, and articulated in a direct relationship to his nature alone. The problem still subsists here.
Weininger, the sexologist, correctly understood that the basis of the “woman-problem” lied in morality, that morality was the source of our misunderstanding of women. Yet he believed this was because of a difference in our psychology- women lacked an ego in our sense of the word, which was the principle of identity, which was the principle of logic- and morality, thought Weininger, was the most complete articulation of logic itself. Thus woman could not grasp morality, and we could not grasp her. The problem is not in our psychology, but in what I described- it is a historical problem, a genealogical problem.
As a consequence of this incongruity every attempt to force women to submit to morality has caused them pain: one cannot make women moral (which means, make them imitate morality) without causing them pain, confusion, etc. It is like trying to force one animal to behave like another. Sometimes I think the only way for a man to truly overcome morality is “love”-- to learn to understand in some different order of categories the joy, suffering, shame, and impulses of a woman and through this new order to at last grasp the world and, with it, himself, in a different light. What would we find here- in feminine nature? Are they closer to nature, or are they closer simply to human nature than we, in our moral cultivation, have become?
