Notes: Citing pp. 206 [Women understand power and riches but not personal property…Whenever a man enters a place where a woman is, and she observes him, or hears his steps, or even only guesses he is near, she becomes another person. Her expression and her pose change with incredible swiftness; she "arranges her fringe" and her bodice, and rises, or pretends to be engrossed in her work.], 207 [...as the female has no ego, she has no free-will....The female...is credulous, uncritical and quite unable to understand Protestantism...the psychology of the male and female must be treated separately...], 221 [Men innocently betray monogamy correspond ideal of continuing self - Women do not honour monogamy, observe it for the wrong reasons], 222? [No proprietary institution originated with women], 236 [No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they never thought seriously about them.], 237 [He was so little erotic that he never felt the kindred desire to travel...(??-my point - quest of experience)], 239 [Sexual attraction increases with physical proximity; love is strongest in the absence of the loved one.], 241 [an absolute nude female figure leaves an impression of something wanting, an incompleteness which is incompatible with beauty], 242 [The woman ? has been possessed and enjoyed, will never again be worshipped for her beauty.], 245 [Hence beauty is always only the constantly renewed endeavour to embody the highest form of value...], 248 & 249 [In the moment when a man loves a woman, he neither understands her nor wishes to undertsand her, although understanding is the only moral basis of association in mankind. (because...'love can ?? itself only to perfection")].
