A Jewish misogynist and anti-Semite, the philosopher Otto Weininger was obsessed by decay.

[For Weininger, sex is an abomination: it locates Man in the world of the senses when the duty of every individual is, in fact, to transcend the merely empirical world as he seeks a higher love - the love of self. "In love, man is only loving himself. Not his empirical self, not the weakness and vulgarities, not the failings and smallnesses which he outwardly exhibits; but all that he wants to be, all that he ought to be, his truest, deepest, intelligible nature, free from all the fetters of necessity, from all taint of the earth."]

Translation sex is fun but life isn't about merely chasing fun.

Hmm, why is this posted here? If your defending Weininger, then hoo boy I don't know what to say, if you're condemning him, well done, so is everyone else worth listening to, if you're posting it as a curiousity, I don't see the application to men's rights.
