Moira Gatens and Paul Patton give a talk on The Exemplar in Spinoza and Nietzsche.
“I am utterly amazed, utterly enchanted! I have a precursor, and what a precursor! This most unusual and loneliest thinker is closest to me precisely in these matters: he denies the freedom of the will, teleology, the moral world-order, the unegoistic, and evil.“ Friedrich Nietzsche
This talk was given by Moira Gatens (University of Sydney, Australia) and Paul Patton (University of New South Wales, Australia) at a 2013 conference on Spinoza and Nietzsche.

A female discussing Nietzsche, is nothing sacred any more. “What inspires respect for woman, and often enough even fear, is her nature, which is more “natural” than man’s, the genuine, cunning suppleness of a beast of prey, the tiger’s claw under the glove, the naivety of her egoism, her uneducability and inner wildness, the incomprehensibility, scope, and movement of her desires and virtues- What, in spite of all fear, elicits pity for this dangerous and beautiful cat “woman” is that she appears to suffer more, to be more vulnerable, more in need of love, and more condemned to disappointment than any other animal. Fear and pity: with these feelings man has so far confronted woman, always with one foot in tragedy which tears to pieces as it enchants.”

how can women's nature, being more natural than mans? humans are a part of nature, to say one is more 'natural' than the other is preposterous.

@@AlbertAlbertB. it can be read many ways. I always read it as a precautionary warning, to hold off the beguiling enchantress. I always remember by grandfathers advice, stay unattached until at least 50 or they will take over your life. I held out until 30 but then was entrapped too, like the fool I am. I hope my son takes more note of me, at least I have got him out of the house and off to university and as far away from the influence of his mother as possible, thereafter I’ll encourage him to move overseas. They tend to suffocate their sons if given the chance, they can’t help themselves.
