These excerpts are taken from Beyond Good and Evil, Aphorism 239:

In no other age have men ever treated the weaker sex with such respect as in our own - it is part of our democratic inclinations and basic taste, as is our irreverence for old age. Is it any wonder that this respect is already being abused? The want more; they are learning to make demands; they end by considering that modicum of respect almost irritating, preferring to compete, or even to battle for their rights: let's just say women are becoming shameless. They are forgetting how to fear men - but a woman who "forgets how to fear" is abandoning her most womanly instincts.

It is fair enough, even understandable enough if women dare to assert themselves when the fear-inducing element in man (let's put it more definitively: when the man in men) is no longer desired or cultivated; what is harder to understand is that this is enough to results in the degeneration of women.

While they are gaining these new rights, aiming to become "master", and writing about women's "progress" on their flags and banners, it is terribly clear the opposite is happening: women are regressing. Ever since the French Revolution, women's influence in Europe has decreased to the same extent their rights and ambitions have increased.

To lose the scent for which battleground best leads to victory; to neglect the practice of her true defensive arts; to let herself go ahead of a man [...] what does all this mean, if not a disintegration of womanly instincts, a defeminization?

I've never read any Nietzsche before, and while I don't understand a large quantity of this book, some of the things he says are very perceptive. If anyone wants to help me understand more of Nietzsche's work, let me know!
