>I would a thousand times rather have a homely girl, simply brought up, than a learned lady...A female wit is a scourge to her husband, her children, her friends, her servants, to everybody. From the lofty height of her genius she scorns every womanly duty, and she is always trying to make a man of herself >These highly talented women only get a hold over fools...If there were none but wise men upon earth such a woman would die an old maid.What did Rousseau mean by this?
>>25550915Exactly what he said
>These highly talented women only get a hold over fools...If there were none but wise men upon earth such a woman would die an old maid.Kek this. Wtf is wrong with anons who want a /lit/ gf
>>25550915He never fucking misses
I feel like the bigger problem is that women ascend beyond pseud status even more rarely than men do, so their hubris isn't tempered by anything. While men are constantly aware of how far they are from present or past people they see as better educated than themselves, from other men they aspire to be like or surpass.
I kneel
>>25550915Sensitive, literate types cannot ever marry simple, philistine, unlearned women, it's just an unfortunate union.Today all women make men of themselves, tradwifes are a chimera. You're forced to choose between a manly woman who's retarded, soulless, and scrolls all day, or you settle for a learned, interesting, manly woman, who at least has a thing or two worthwhile to say. I choose the /lit/ wife all day.
>>25551489The learned (or midwit) woman will actively try to emasculate you though.

>>25550915this is exactly why my current gf is a village girl fuck urban foids
>>25550915The simple girl next door is just as likely to have had her volition robbed by tiktok algorithms and consumerism as the urban slut. At least there is a chance the whore is interesting to talk to
I recently started thinking some kind of lit-waifu would be the best option for me.Someone who can talk with me about the random interests I'll take for a few months at a time.Still think it would be fun.But today I saw a traditional Christian woman who was out with her family and it made me think thats a great option if you can find it. Not the overbearing ones or cowboy-hat ones, but the ones who actually just feel like a traditional woman.The worst IMO is the very very basic women who have weird "professional career woman" hairstyles or pretend to like football.
>>25551795>The worst IMO is the very very basic women who have weird "professional career woman" hairstyles or pretend to like footballI've known a few of those. One of them is my mom. Downside of growing up in the Midwest.
>>25550915As usual, Rousseau shows us the way.
>>25550915I didn't know career women were a scourge in the 18th century as well, but Rousseau was clearly ahead of the times.
>>25550915How the fuck is Rousseau's reputation someone who was an arch-liberal who was responsible for the French Revolution and the egalitarianism in the modern world, but whenever I read anything he said he was basically a blood and soil chud who thought women were retards
>>25552183Because the bad guys won. We live in a Voltairian world.
>>25550915It's weird that Rousseau was 100% on women yet his views on men and children are those of a hapless abderite.
