on rare occasions they get it right

If we’re talking about literature with explicitly misogynistic or strongly negative portrayals of women—similar in spirit to Arthur Schopenhauer’s On Women—there’s quite a bit spanning antiquity to the modern era. Some works are philosophical essays, others are literary or satirical pieces, and some are embedded in otherwise respected philosophical systems. Here’s a representative sampling:

⸻

Ancient & Medieval Sources
• Hesiod – Works and Days and Theogony
Introduces Pandora as the origin of human woes; portrays women as a necessary evil.
• Euripides – Medea, Hippolytus
Though nuanced, contains characters delivering outright misogynistic tirades.
• Aristotle – Politics, Generation of Animals
Argues women are “inferior” by nature, colder in constitution, and less rational.
• Juvenal – Satire VI (1st–2nd century CE)
A long, venomous satire against marriage and women’s character.
• The Malleus Maleficarum (1487) by Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger
A witch-hunting manual with overtly misogynistic theological and legal reasoning.
• Jean de Meun’s continuation of Roman de la Rose (13th century)
Contains long diatribes against women as deceitful and manipulative.

⸻

Early Modern
• Otto Weininger – Sex and Character (1903)
Claims women are inherently amoral, incapable of genius, and defined only through men.
• John Knox – The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women (1558)
A Protestant polemic opposing female rulers as unnatural and ungodly.
• Jean-Jacques Rousseau – Émile (Book V)
Outlines a separate, subordinate education for women, centering them on pleasing men.
• Immanuel Kant – Various Lectures and Notes
Makes dismissive claims about women’s rational capacity and intellectual pursuits.
• Giovanni Boccaccio – Corbaccio (ca. 1365)
An extended invective against women in the voice of a bitter lover.

⸻

19th & Early 20th Century
• August Strindberg – Essays and Plays
Frequently depicts women as manipulative and destructive.
• Friedrich Nietzsche – scattered aphorisms in Beyond Good and Evil, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Not systemically misogynistic like Schopenhauer, but often dismissive of women’s intellectual role.
• Havelock Ellis – certain essays in Studies in the Psychology of Sex
While more “scientific,” some sections frame women in strongly essentialist, limiting ways.

⸻

Notes
• Many of these works are embedded in otherwise broader philosophical, religious, or literary contexts—not every page is pure vitriol.
• Some (e.g., Euripides) use misogynistic rhetoric through characters rather than the author’s own voice, so interpretation requires care.
• The tone varies: satire, pseudo-science, theological polemic, moral philosophy, and bitter personal invective all show up.

Reminder that the main reason Schopenhauer hated women was because he simped hard for a 17 year old cutie patootie who spurned him and he spent the rest of his life getting scurvy from prostitues and scribbling furiously in his chud journal “AHHHHHHHH I HATE WOMEN I’M LOSING MY MIND@

>>24630560
*Also, his mom hated him which probably gave him a complex.
These two things combined seriously clouded his judgment.

Schopenhauer didn’t hate women, he was just trying to be objective an his sexuality as Weininger of all people said, was of a base kind.
>>24630370 (OP)
Weininger is the ultimate steelman for miosgyny
Tolstoy was the major writer who hated women the most. Ironic because he books are beloved by women

>i give a shit about a philosopher's life more than a philosopher's philosophy because i have never read his book although i have consoomed memes about him on instagram and reddit
All of these motherfuckers should kill themselves. They have raped have serious discourse around Schopenhauer.

But it is a great way to recognize faggots. Whenever I hear some faggot or a foid talking about Schopenhauer's heckin mom's letter or some other biographical meme detail I just assume that that person is a total retard and a redditor.

>Johanna was an abusive wife to his father and an abusive mother to him. She even threw Schopenhauer down a flight of stairs once when he talked back to her. Also, Schopenhauer’s father (whom he was very close with) was believed to have committed suicide when Schopenhauer was seventeen and it has always been a rumor that Johanna Schopenhauer was a contributing factor to his suicide.

>After her husband died, Johana left for Weimar to join the free love movement and follow her dreams of becoming a writer, leaving Schopenhauer behind. And when Schopenhauer later wanted to move to Weimar to pursue philosophy, she desperately tried to convince him not to move to Weimar, saying she couldn’t stand to be around him.

>Where the tension between them comes in, is that Johanna at the time was a semi successful author of cheap romances and thought very highly of herself. Arthur, as we know, also thought very highly of himself from an early age. What made Johanna seethe was Arthur's unwarranted confidence (bordering on arrogance) without having anything tangible to show for it. This is best seen in this interaction:
>>Unfortunately, the published dissertation earned, at best, lukewarm reviews. Indeed, the most stinging might have come from the young man’s mother, who asked sarcastically whether his book [The Fourfold Roots of the Principle of Sufficient Reason] was for pharmacists. Schopenhauer retorted that his work would still find readers when not even a single copy of her writings could be found in a junk yard. Undaunted, Johanna Schopenhauer spat back, ‘Of yours the entire printing will still be available’.

>One time Goethe was impressed by young Arthur's intellect, saying that by proper grooming he could become a literary genius, and she said something like "only one person in each family could be a genius" (referring to herself). She even went as far as badmouthing Arthur to Goethe, and was one of the reasons the relationship between Schopenhauer and Goethe worsened.

LMAO and this retarded hippie Erica Jong foid is whose opinion on Schope we're meant to take seriously?! B T F O forever, if we accept the argument that biological anecdotes are relevant then this is a brutal and permanent demolishment of any and all Johanna Schopenhauer opinions
