The Slave's Happiness - "a woman will make use of a man whenever there is an opportunity" (p. 4)

Women let men work for them, think for them, and take on their responsibilities - in fact, they exploit them. Yet, since men are strong, intelligent, and imaginative, while women are weak, unimaginative, and stupid, why isn't it men who explain women? Could it be that strength, intelligence, and imagination are not prerequisites for power but merely qualifications for slavery? Could it be that the world is not being ruled by experts but by beings who are not fit for anything else - by women? And if this is so, how do women manage it so that their victims do not feel themselves cheated and humiliated, but rather believe themselves to be what they are least of all - masters of the universe? (p. 5)

What Is Man? - "A man is a human being who works." (p. 6)

Any qualities in a man that a woman finds useful, she calls masculine; all others, of no use to her or to anyone else for that matter, she chooses to call effeminate. (p. 6)

unlike men, they [women] never judge the opposite sex from an aesthetic point of view. (p. 7)

By a trick of fate, it is always the latter [middle-class men, wearing overalls and carrying lunch boxes], the poorest, who are exploited by the least attractive women. For, unlike women (who have an eye for money), men notice only woman's external appearance. (p. 9)

A man who is no longer able to perform these acts, whose earning capacity is lessened, is considered a failure. (p. 12)

What Is Woman - "A woman is a human being who does not work." (p. 13)

In general, a woman will choose [spiritual existence] and opt for physical well-being, a place to breed, and an opportunity to indulge unhindered in her breeding habits. (p. 13)

Women do not use their mental capacity: they deliberately let it disintegrate. After a few years of sporadic training, they revert to a state of irreversible mental torpor. Why do women not make use of their intellectual potential? For the simple reason that they do not need to. It is not essential for their survivor. (pp. 13-14)

By the age of twelve at least, most women have decided to become prostitutes. Or, to put it another way, they have planned a future for themselves which consists of choosing a man and letting him do all the work. (p. 14)

She may, of course, go on to obtain various degrees and diplomas. These increase her market value in the eyes of men, for men believe that a woman who can recite things by heart must also know and understand them. But any real possibility of communication between the sexes ceases at this point. Their paths are divided forever. One of man's worst mistakes, and one he makes over and over again, is to assume that woman is his equal, that is, a human being of equal mental and emotional capacity. (p. 14)

When a man sees a woman spending hours cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning, it never occurs to him that such jobs probably make her quite happy since they are exactly at her mental level. Instead he assumes that this drudgery prevents her from doing all those things which he himself considers worthwhile and desirable. Therefore, he invents automatic dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, and precooked foods to make her life easier and to allow her to lead the dream life he himself longs for. But he will be disappointed: rarely using the time she has gained to take an active interest in history, politics, or astrophysics, woman bakes cakes, irons underclothes, and makes ruffles and frills for blouses or, if she is especially enterprising, covers her bathroom with flower decals. (p. 15)

since a longing after intellectual achievements is alien to her, she concentrates on her external appearance. (p. 16)

He gives her access to the very last male strongholds, thereby relinquishing traditions sacred to him [...] In all this he is so determined and pigheaded that he fails to see what a fool he is making of himself - ridiculous by his own standards, not those of women, who have absolutely no sense of humor. (pp 16-17)

If only man would stop for one moment in his heedless rush toward progress and think about this state of affairs, he would inevitably realize that his efforts to give woman a sense of mental stimulation have been totally in vain. It is true that woman gets progressively more elegant, more well-groomed, more "cultured," but her demands on life will always be material, never intellectual. (p. 17)

Does she do independent research in the institutes he has thrown open to her? though she may well admire his marvelous works of art in museums, she herself will rarely create, only copy. (p. 18)

When a man, believing woman his equal, realizes the futility of her way of life, he naturally tends to think that it must be his fault, that he must be suppressing her. But in our time women are no longer subject to the will of men. Quite contrary. They have been given every opportunity to win their independence and if, after all this time, they have not liberated themselves and thrown off the shackles, we can only arrive at one conclusion: there are no shackles to throw off. (p. 18)

Men seem incapable of realizing that women entirely lack ambition, desire for knowledge, and need to prove themselves, all things which, to him, are a matter of course. They allow men to live in a world apart because they do not want to join them. (p. 19)

Women feel anything but oppressed by men. On the contrary, one of the many depressing truths about the relationship between the sexes is simply that man hardly exists in a woman's world: Man is not even powerful enough to revolt against. Woman's dependence on him is only material, of a "physical" nature, something like a tourist's dependence on an airline, a cafe proprietor's on his espresso machine, a car's on gasoline, a television set's on electric current. Such dependencies hardly involve agonizing. (p. 20)

The Horizon of a Woman - "Whatever men set about to impress women with counts for nothing in the world of women. Only another woman is of importance in her world." (p. 22)

Yes, only women exist in a woman's world. The women she meets at church, at parent-teacher meetings, or in the supermarket; the women with whom she chats over the garden fence; the women at parties or window-shopping in the more fashionable streets; those she apparently never seems to notice - these women are the measure of her success or failure. Women's standards correspond to those in other women's heads, not to those in the heads of men; it is their judgment that really counts, not that of men. (p. 23)

A man lacks any kind of appreciation for this [make-up and clothes]. He has not learned to interpret the extent of female masquerades, and he cannot possibly evaluate these walking works of art. To achieve perfection such skill needs time, money, and an infinitely limited mind - and these requirements are met only by women. In fact, when a woman dresses, she considers a man only to a slight extent - the extent necessary to hold him and to encourage him to provide (in the widest sense) for her. Every other investment is aimed at other women. Man has importance only as the provider. (p. 24)

Feelings become involved only if he threatens to leave her. Then her livelihood is at stake. As this is a rational reaction with a rational cause, it can be rationally dealt with and adjusted to. She can always place another man under contract. How different is her reaction from those of a man who finds himself in a similar position. He is racked by jealousy, humiliation, feelings of inferiority and self-pity - but she is emotionless. A woman would hardly ever feel jealous in such a situation, since the man is leaving her only for another woman and not in order to be free. In her eyes he is not improving his position in any way. (p. 25)

Women make ideal living companions for each other. Their feelings and instincts are retarded at the same primitive level, and there are almost no individualistic or eccentric women. (p. 28)

The Fair Sex - "in the absence of any other real qualities, he calls her beautiful" (p. 30)

But this feminine claim to beauty is also supported by subterfuge, by a trick. Woman's greatest ideal is a life without work or responsibility - yet who leads such a life but a child? A child with appealing eyes, a funny little body with dimples and sweet layers of baby fat and clear, taut skin - that darling miniature of an adult. It is a child that woman imitates - its easy laugh, its helplessness, its need for protection. (p. 30)

As with everything a woman undertakes on her own initiative, this whole maneuver is as incredible as it is stupid. It is amazing, in fact, that it succeeds. It would also appear very shortsighted to encourage such an ideal of beauty. For how can any woman hope to maintain it beyond the age of twenty-five? [...] What is to become of this shrew when her face no longer atones for her ceaseless inanities? (p. 31)

But no, she still manages to get her own way - and for two reasons. The first is obvious: she now has children, who enable her to continue feigning helplessness. As for the second - there are simply not enough young women to go around. [...] as the ratio between the sexes is roughly equal, not every man can have a younger woman. (p. 32)

And if an attractive young woman has a choice, she will choose a young man every time, providing he is financially secure. This is not, of course, for aesthetic reasons. With any luck, he will be able to provide for her longer. [...] As a result of their inertia, women's bodies rapidly decay and, after the age of fifty, they are nothing but indifferent heaps of human cells. (p. 33)

Men are not aware of their own beauty and no one mentions it. There is so much rubbish written and talked about the charm of women. Even children and animals are considered graceful, adorable, and delightful - but never man. Men are at best praised for their steadfastness, courage, reliability - all qualities useful to women, having nothing to do with physical appearance. (p. 34)

It's a Man's Universe - "Man is beautiful because man is a thinking creature." (p. 36)

[Man has a thirst for knowledge, Man thinks, Man is creative, and] Man is sensitive (as a result of his exceptionally wide, multidimensional emotional scale), he not only registers the commonplace in fine gradations but he creates and discovers new emotional values and makes them accessible to others through sensible descriptions, or re-creates them as an artist. (p. 36)

A woman takes interest only in subjects that have an immediate personal usefulness to her. For example, if she reads a political article in the newspaper, it is highly liely that she wants to cast a spell on some political-science student, not that she cares about the fate of the Chinese, Israelis, or South Africans. [...] Man's curiosity is something quite different. His desire for knowledge has no personal implications,is purely objective, and, in the long run, is made much more practical than a woman's attitude. (p. 37)

The other type of man, living only for himself, working only for himself, doing first one thing and then another simply because he enjoys it and because he has to keep only himself, sleeping where and when he wants, and facing woman when he meets her, on equal terms and not as one of a million slaves, is rejected by society. The free, unshackled man has no place in its midst. (p. 40)

[Most men] serve the repulsively primitive needs of women. [...] The most tiresome aspect of technological advances is having to translate them for television ads into female language composed of children's prattle and sweet love-talk. Man is begging woman to be patient with him and his discoveries, or at least to buy them. Women's proven lack of imagination makes clear that they have no a priori need for new inventions. If they did, they would invent things more often themselves. (p. 41)

We have absolutely no idea what the world would be like if men really used their intelligence and imagination instead of wasting it. [...] they should try living themselves.. Instead of probing the depth of woman's "mysterious" psyche - "mysterious" only because there is nothing behind it - they should study their own psyche (p. 42)

Women just sit back getting lazier, dumber, and more demanding - and, at the same time, richer. [...] It is quite incredible that men, whose desire for knowledge is boundless in every other field, are really totally blind to these facts, that they are incapable of seeing women as they really are: with nothing else to offer but a vagina, two breasts, and some punch cards programmed with idle, stereotyped chatter; (pp. 43-44)

Woman - Divine by Right of Stupidity - "what, after all, is the dear Lord but yet another man who will arrange things for her?" (p. 46)

Once a human being is free, if it happens to be rather stupid (and women are stupid) it will be quite happy with its freedom and try to retain it. As the unintelligent human being is incapable of abstract thought, it will never feel the need to leave its familiar terrain and consequently will never fear that its very existence might be threatened. It is not afraid of death because it cannot imagine it. (p. 45)

Breaking Them In - "by the time his education is complete, man will judge his own value by woman's estimation of his usefulness." (p. 51)

It is fortunate for woman that the male infant is under her close juristiction as it is easiest to train him then. (p. 50)

One of the most powerful factors in the conditioning of a man is praise. [...] it creates an addict (without praise, he soon no longer knows whether or not he is worth something and forgets the ability to identify with himself); it increases his productivity (praise is most effectively meted out not for the same achievements, but for increasingly higher ones). (p. 52)

The more initiative he shows, the more he is praised. Woman wants him to develop to the point where he knows more than she does. His knowledge must be superior to hers in everything concerning work, for woman cannot survive without man. (p. 54)

Manipulation by Means of Self-Abasement - "man forgets that his own standards of honor, pride, and dignity are all instilled in him by women" (p. 57)

As the value of woman in society is not measured by intelligence but by completely different standards (in fact, there are no standards: man needs her, and that is enough), she may be as stupid, in appearance or in reality, as suits her convenience. (p. 58)

The formula for this female conspiracy could not be simpler: it is masculine to work, feminine to do nothing. [...] Women, of course, will never admit that, in comparison to men, they do nothing; they are constantly finding little tasks and keeping themselves busy. (p. 59)

The male sense of honor, for example, is a system invented by women who loudly exempt themselves from it. [...] If a man is capabble of sewing his own button - and does so - he really is not a "proper" man at all. [...] And so he allows himself to be driven away from the most unexacting place of work in the world [the home] (pp. 62-63)

Women Have No Feelings - "The fact that women make every attempt to suppress man's ability to express his emotions is a certain indication of this." (p. 73)

Apart from intelligence, ambition, industry, and pertinacity, he must know exactly how to behave in the presence of women. With this aim in view, women have established certain norms which are called good manners [...] A woman will marry a man simply because his is wealthy. But if she is given a choice between two wealthy men, one with and one without manners, she will choose the man who has them. For if a man has mastered the rules governing good manners, a woman may be sure that he will never, at any time, question her ideal value as a woman. (p. 70-71)

And on top of that we should not forget that the average type of [theater] play is an outdated form of entertainment because most of them are aimed at the intellectual level of women (as, indeed, are many of those things which we like to label "cultured"). (p. 72)

Once again, woman degrades herself. "Boys don't cry! You're not a little girl, dear!" Little girls, on the other hand, are never taught to control their tears, and they quickly learn to use them to advantage. If a man sees a woman crying, it would never occur to him that she may be incontinent. He assumes her feelings are aroused to a considerable extent and even judges the degree of feeling by the quantity of liquid shed. This is obviously a mistaken interpretation. Women really are callous creatures - mainly because it is to their disadvantage to feel deeply. Feelings might seduce them into choosing a man who is of no use to them, i.e., a man whom they could not manipulate at will. (p. 74)

it is necessary for woman to enact the role of a sensitive being or man would become aware of her essentially cold, calculating nature. (p. 74)

Sex as a Reward - "He would, in fact, be above bribery altogether were it not for one basic male need which has to be satisfied" (p. 77)

Thanks to her mother's advice, a girl will suppress her desires even in puberty for the sake of the capital to be gained later. [...] Chastity in a man, on the other hand, has never been worth much. As women do not really care for men, they are not much interested in their chastity. For this reason a boy can never be raped by an older woman - only seduced. But let a man play that game with an adolescent girl! He will be lynched as a sex criminal by a female mob. (p. 79)

A man could, of course, condition his sexual needs as easily as a woman [nofap!] But instead of learning to suppress his needs, a man will allow them to be encouraged whenever possible - by women, of course, since their interests are mainly directed toward man's libido. Man is never dressed in such a way as to awaken sexual desire in the opposite sex, but it is very much the contrary with woman. By the age of twelve she is already disguised as bait. (p. 79)

It is ironic that men consider ordinary prostitutes so very contemptible - they are among the few women who frankly admit that they make money by renting out a specific orifice of their bodies. [...] Women, too, despise the common prostitute, but for a different reason: they despise her for her stupidity. A woman who sells her body so ineptly is shockingly stupid by female intelligence standards. (p. 82)

The Female Libido - "Women live an animal existence. They like eating, drinking, sleeping - even sex, providing there is nothing to do and no real effort is required of them." (p. 87)

If [men] make any attempt to come to conclusions on the subject [of sex], they are forced to rely to a large extent on the information women volunteer to them. And since women have no respect for exact scientific data and are interested only in what is of immediate benefit to them, they will say what seems to be convenient or opportune at the time. (p. 86)

[provided] there is no TV program she wants to see, she will not be averse to making love, provided he is prepared to bet he active partner. But even the euphemisms "active" for the male partner and "passive" for the female do not conceal the fact that woman allows man to serve her in bed just as he does in every other sphere of life. (p. 87)

A woman will certainly feel happy when she has an orgasm - but it is not the most intense pleasure she knows. A cocktail party, or buying a new pair of aubergine-colored patent-leather boots, rates far higher. [...] There is only one aspect of man's sexual potency that concerns a woman - whether he is capable of fathering children or not. (pp. 91-92)

Children as Hostages - "Women need children to justify their laziness, stupidity, and lack of responsibility." (p. 117)

Most adult men live in a state of permanent hell. And the happiness of most women is not only primitive but obtained mostly at other people's expense, so that there is no justification for reproducing them. (p. 117)

Questions such as this do not interest women. As she does not think abstractly, the problems of existential anxiety do not touch her. (p. 118)

Of course, an assumed air of helplessness and a subsequent excuse for spending their lives doing easy work without a boss ordering them around is not the only reason why women produce little human beings. One day, for example, a woman may discover that her body functions rather like a slot machine. You put in something insignificant and trifling, and something different and fabulous falls out. Of course she is tempted to try this wonderful game. And when she has played it once, she will repeat it over and over again. It nearly always works: exactly nine months later out comes a human being. She is astonished and delighted. (pp. 122-123)

Children are curious about absolutely everything, but women have no interests at all except the few idiotic forms of entertainment offered by her house and her own body [...] The cliche about the common interests of father and son (father cannot stop playing with his son's model railway) cannot be applied to mother and son, or even to mother and daughter. (p. 124)

There is, however, one further small advantage in having a large family - the husband is unlikely to leave before all the children are grown up. A man who leaves his wife with four or more children, even if he cannot stand the sight of her a moment longer, is considered almost a criminal in our society. (p. 126)

Women's Vices - "woman's so-called psyche is unfathomable merely because of the absence of intelligence" (p. 130)

she is addicted to pleasure, and she needs time for her pleasures. And what are they? Baking cakes, ironing the laundry, making clothes, cleaning windows, curling her hair, painting her toenails, and sometimes even doing a little shorthand of typing. And just to make sure that no one recognizes the fact that for her all this is pleasure, she calls thse pleasures "housework." (p. 129)

It is quite impossible for a man to imagine that this represents happiness to the opposite sex. They would have to realize that it is woman's nature to be able to enjoy amusements at the most lowest and most monotonous level, and such boundless idiocy is beyond male comprehension. (pp. 129-130)

experts have discovered that most schoolgirls do well in subjects that do not require thought, that can be memorized, such as languages [...] or that, like mathematics, follow strict rules, which again are learned by rote, while other subjects (physics, chemistry, biology) are beyond them. (p. 130)

[Men] agree that women are not terribly clever, but grant them "intuition" or instinct instead. And they like to call this a feminine instinct as opposed to that of an animal. Unfortunately, this famous feminine instinct is really nothing but a euphemism for statistical probability. Women interfere and give opinions about everything, and, since they are so stupid, they don't realize that they are making fools of themselves. According to the law of averages, their forecasts will be correct every now and again. In any case, most of their predictions are negative or vague. Banalities such as: "It can only end in disaster," or "I'd steer clear of that, if I were you," or "Your so-called friends will only let you down in the end" are meaningless. Anyone would be safe making such generalizations. (p. 131)

Women's stupidity is so overwhelming that anyone who comes into contact with it will become, in a way, infected by it. [...] Step by step, not only the private sphere of men but all of public life has become infected by this stupidity. (p. 133)

There is only one subject which will arouse interest in both [men and women], and that is the subject of women. (p. 134)
