Strindberg's "Cowards" from a "A Blue Book".

The Disciple(Strindberg) asked: What is a misogynist? The Master(Swedenborg) replied: I do not know; but it is used by cowards as a term of abuse for those who say what everybody thinks. Cowards are the men who cannot approach a woman without going out of their minds and becoming treacherous. They buy the woman’s favour by serving their friends’ heads on a silver plate; and they absorb so much femininity that they see with her eyes and feel with her feelings. Agreed: there are things you do not mention in everyday conversation, and you do not tell your woman what is the essence of her gender; but one is sometimes allowed to write it. Schopenhauer put it best, Nietzsche not badly, Joséphin Péladan is the master; Thackeray wrote Men’s Wives, but that was suppressed; Balzac unmasked Caroline in Physiologie du mariage, and Petites misères de la vie conjugale; Otto Weininger, having discovered the treachery when he was twenty, did not wait for the revenge but left the scene. I have said that the child is a criminal in the making that cannot control itself, but I love children nevertheless. I have also said that woman is what she is, but I have always been in love with a woman, and had children with her. Thus, he who calls me a misogynist is a fool, a liar, or a coward - or all three rolled into one!
