I know, it is so weird reading ALL his stuff, how forward thinking he was. There's the occasional thing that is really jarring, as when in Woman the Serf chapter he describes women as "a bundle of weak and flabby sentiments, combined with a wholly undeveloped brain." I had to stop recording to laugh. But for the most part, he's 100 years ahead of his time.
Another good one from Woman the Serf.
While her sympathies for individuals are keen and quick, abstract and general ideas such as those of Justice, Truth, and the like have been difficult of appreciation to her; and her deficiency in logic has made it almost impossible to act upon her through the brain. A man, if he is on the wrong track, can be argued with; but with a woman of this type, if her motives are nefarious, there is no means of changing them by appeal to her reason, or to the general sense of Justice and Right—and unless controlled by the stronger sway of a determined personal will (of a man) her career is liable to be pretty bad.

Oh, yeah. Men are so much more likely than women to admit they're wrong when confronted with logic
