I give an introduction to several aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy: aristocratic elitism, his thoughts on thinking, free will, pity, morality, Christianity, Life, the relationships between the sexes, the Will to Power, the rabble, and more all in the context of the charges of misogyny that I have heard leveled against Nietzsche. I challenge the Wikipedia derived definition of misogyny--according to which Nietzsche probably is a misogynist--because I suspect that the definition given to the word does not match the denotation of the word very well: "hating women". I consider the doctrine of equality, and suggest that we do not live in a world of equal things, that Life is unjust as well as unfair, and that it is She who governs the relations between the sexes, and the obligations each sex has in the reproduction of the species. We visit several passages from Ecce Homo, Beyond Good and Evil, The Gay Science, and The Antichrist. I conclude that if Nietzsche is in fact a misogynist, then I must have Stockholm syndrome, because I do not feel hated, but rather strengthened, refreshed, and even honored, by the things he says about Woman.

Note: This is the second edition of this episode. The original was overeager and poorly executed, so I made it ten times better and, incidentally, three times longer.
