Ok, I stand corrected. Our last resort isn't irony, but semantic deconstruction of ideas without the understanding of which we couldn't even take a dump in the morning. Women are finally redeemed.

Alright, I read it through. The beginning is mostly ad hom and platitude with some conventional morality thrown in the mix

And Zizek doesn't seem to comprehend Weininger's epistemology. He brings up the "nothingness" into which Kierkegaard sticks his finger, but it does not seem to occur to him that Weinginger's system is not impeded by this obstacle.

If anything that only proves how women are kept down by the tyrannical patriarch-king "The West" and preventing them from showing you how female-dominated educational spheres could potentially drive the world and put an end to poverty sickness abuse and etc, at the end of the day the utopia that is being held HOSTAGE by capitalist masculinity

The purpose of psychoanalysis in Academia is to disguise an ad hominem as academic critique. There is a book by Alain Badiou where he criticises Wittgenstein's philosophy by somehow connecting it to his repressed homosexuality. For some reason a homosexual man hiding his homosexuality in inter-war England is grounds for critique.

OP here.

I stopped posting after my initial first reply to the zizek comment.

Coming back here to see absolutely no discussion or anything of worth really made me think. It made me realise that not only is Weininger right but that he will always be rendered an esoteric figure throughout history because brainlets can't understand him.
