>Stirner must have had an extremely sensitive and unusually delicate nature. A rare personal remark he once made to a friend is characteristic: He related to that friend that his first wife had once uncovered herself unconsciously in sleep, and that it had been impossible for him from that moment on to touch her again. How he could have endured the loud, often raw circle at Hippel' s for so long is a riddle we must try to resolve later.

>From "Max Stirner - His Life and His Work" by Mackay

Haha, no fucking way. This is the unique one whom all of /lit/ admires? How is he to make things his property if the naked body of woman is good enough to break him?

Isaac Newton died a virgin. Lots of sex =/= lots of great philosophy.

You don't understand OP.

She was already his. He, as the unique, already attained her as his property. The fact that she did this unconsciously, he knew that she was spooking him, and denounced her as his own.

It gets worse.

>That she did what she wished, and that Stirner let her do what she wished-that of course may have let her appear in the eyes of the marriage-slaves as detestable as it later did to her, but it can only make the two of them more likeable to us. Every act of making up the mind for the other, for that matter, would not have fit at all into the nature of those involved, for whom "marriage" meant only a loose band that was thrown around them purely externally. And not on the "unfaithfulness" of the wife-how ridiculous !-did "this marriage perish," but simply and only under the pressure of the circumstances in which he and she unfortunately all too soon found themselves.

Stirner was a literal cuckold.

He stole all her money though, so it's even.

Well, the semen of the men she fucks is his property, so it really doesn't matter tbh.

Isn't this just acting on his philosophy? She fucked whoever and he fucked whoever, they were both free to do so. If sounds as if the focus of the comment is on Stirner not trying to control his wife, but as far as I know absolute control over everything is not what Stirner meant by "property".

>he fucked whoever
The way Mackay writes it it seems like Marie was sleeping around while Stirner remained a faithful husband.

>> No.7009656

>>7009615
that sounds more like Stirner no't giving a shit.
I'd argue that's arguably more hurtful and disrespectful towards his wife than fucking other girls behind her back. To stirner, his wife was just a thing that ate with him.
