The answer to this question (as well as the question you pose) is difficult to ascertain and there are a number of opposing and complex views on how he regarded women. -Hence‚ Derrida claims that for Nietzsche‚ there is no eternal essence of womanhood. -Nietzsche’s view of women is explicitly based upon their role as potential mothers -
