Über die Weiber

About Wives Arthur Schopenhauer   With the girls, it has the nature of what we in the dramaturgical sense, is called a bang effect, apart by the same few years, with superabundant beauty, charm and wealth of resources, at the expense of all its remaining lifetime, so that they in fact, During those years, the imagination of a man in the extent bemächtigen could be that he is ecstatic, the concern for them on temporary life, in any form, honest to take what steps it property, the mere thought does not sufficiently sensible guarantee safe to give it seemed. So has the nature of the woman, just like any other of its creatures, with the weapons and tools equipped with it to ensure its existence is needed, and at the time because it requires her, but also because they habitually with their thrift proceed. As the female ant after copulation, the now unnecessary, yes, for the Brutverhältniß dangerous wing loses, so usually after one or two child beds, the woman's beauty, probably from the same reason. Accordingly, young girls keep their home, or commercial transactions, in their hearts for minor matter, probably even for sheer fun: as their only serious profession, they love, conquests and what is associated, such as toilet, dance, etc. The noble and perfect a thing is, the slower and later they reached maturity. The man gained the maturity and sense of his mental faculties little before eight and twentieth years, the woman with the eighteenth. But it is also a reason after a nearly even measured. Therefore, women remain their children's lives, tendons always only the next, sticking to the present, take note of things for the cause ziehn trifles and the important matters before. The reason that it is, property which the man does not like the animal, just in the present lives, but past and the future looks and bearing, which then his caution, his frequent concern and trepidation arises. The advantages, such as the post-Theile, which brings This is the woman to follow its weaknesses reason, less liable Theil, much more is the same   a mental Myops by his intuitive understanding in the vicinity of sharp looks, however, face a close circle, in which the Remote does not fall, so everything absent, Past, Future, much weaker effect on women than on us, because what of them much more frequent and sometimes bordering on madness penchant for wasting arises. The women think in her heart, the determination of the men had to earn money, their other hand, it through, where possible, already at the man's lifetime, but at least after his death. Already that the man purchased the house for them übergiebt attitude, encourages them in the faith. - So many Theile After all this with him, then it is good that the woman in the presence of more effective, than we do, and therefore they, if they only bearable is better enjoy the woman giving eigenthümliche the Laughter show What they are for recreation, necessary for the consolation of the case sorgenbelasteten man is suitable. In difficult matters, according to the old Germanic way, even the women to be ziehn Rathe, is not reprehensible, because their view of things is ours quite different, and especially the fact that they liked the shortest route to targets and the first ever Exposed envisaged summarizes, on which we, precisely because it is located in front of our nose, usually far hinwegsehn, where we then North Thut, due to be led to the near and simple view back to win. Hiezu comes, that is sober Weiber decided, as we, so in the things they no longer tendons, as there really is, while we, when our passions are excited, slightly enlarge the existing or imaginary add. From the same source it is deduce that the women more sympathy and therefore more people to love and Theilnahme unfortunates show than the men, however, but in points of justice, honesty and diligence, these nachstehn. Indeed, in consequence of its weak sense exerts the Present, Colorful, Real violence directly over them, against which the abstract thoughts, the following maxims, which festgefaßten   Decisions, even the consideration of past and future, on missed and remote, rarely much property. Accordingly become a fundamental error of the female character find injustice. He initially set out from the lack of rationality and thought, is also still supported that, as the weaker, by nature not on the force but dependent on the List are: hence their instinktartige trickiness and her penchant for unvertilgbarer Lie. Because, as with the lion's claws and teeth, the elephants with tusks, the boar with Hauern the bull by the horns and sepia ink with the water turbidity, so has the nature of the woman equipped with power adjustment for his protection and defense, and has all the power that they the man as physical strength and gave reason, the woman in the shape of that administration zugewendet. The adjustment, therefore it is innate, hence almost as the very stupid, as the wise woman own. From the same at every opportunity to make use of him is so natural, therefore, like those Thiers, in attack, immediately apply their weapons, and feels it is somehow than his right. It is a very real, genuine woman, perhaps impossible. That is precisely why they penetrate foreign adjustment so easily that it is not rathsam is against them, in order to try it. - From the ground up its mistakes and gifts rises but falsehood, perfidy, Verrath, ingratitude, etc. The court perjury Wives make a lot more guilty than men. It could even call into question whether they are allowed to oaths. - From time to time repeats itself throughout the case that women, which nothing off in merchant shops something secretly plug it in and steal. Because basically the women alone to the propagation of sex as their destination and are herein rises, so do they live more consistently in the genus as the individuals who take it in their hearts with the serious affairs of the genus, as with the individual. This giebt her whole being and bustle a certain recklessness and even one from the man   from the ground from different direction from what the so frequent and almost normal disagreement arises in the marriage. The low grown, schmalschultrige, breithüftige and the beautiful kurzheinige sex could only mention of the male sex drive umnebelte intellect: namely in this branch is its beauty. With more fair than the beautiful, it could be the female sex unesthetic the call. Neither music, nor poetry, nor the visual arts, they really and truly sense and sensitivity, but mere Aefferei to Behuf their Gefallsucht, is if such affektiren and pretend. That makes, they are neither purely objective Antheil capable of anything, and the reason of which is, I think, is as follows. The man strives in all direct dominion over things, either through understanding or by the same beat. But the woman is always and everywhere a mere domination indirect reference, namely through the man alone than what it has to dominate directly. Therefore, it is the female nature, these are only means the man to win anzusehn, and her Antheil to anything else is always just a simulirter, a mere detour, that runs on Aefferei coquetry and beyond. They are dhenz sequior [the lesser sex], which in each back below relevant, second sex, whose weakness is therefore spare, but what reverence to testify about the dimensions and ridiculous to us in their own eyes threshold. As the nature of the human race split into two halves, it is not just the cut through the middle run. For all its polarity is the difference from negative to the positive pole not only qualitative but also a quantitative. - Sun also have the ancients and the Oriental peoples of the women viewed them and then the proper position much right as we detected with our altfranzösischen gallantry and abgeschmackter Weiberveneration, this highest flower-Christian Germanic stupidity, which has only served them as arrogant and inconsiderate to make that one sometimes to the sacred monkeys in Benares remembers, what, in the consciousness of their sanctity and inviolability, everything is allowed and each hold.
