I am not an expert in the works of Weininger, but his works have impacted me.<br /><br />I have visited your blog. I actually do not speak much english and my friend translates for me, so it is a bit hard to follow.

The understanding of Weininger I put forth is that he has been deeply misunderstood by many. He was not a misogynist nor a self-hating Jew, though that is how he has been typically read. I contend he was groping his way toward what cannot but seem an unbelievable claim: that human beings do not exist, that only feminine and masculine experiences comprise what we too abstractly refer to as "human." Taken literally this has startling consequences. It means, for example, that morality as it has traditionally been construed does not apply to women. But this is not a denigration of women. There is a stark difference between immoral and amoral: the latter is outside the realm of morality altogether and that's where women are. People, for some reason, forget that by far the greater part of human-created evil is perpetrated by men. If only men can be moral, it is because only men require being moral. The moral world of women is so utterly different from that of men that judgment across sex lines becomes impossible... <br /><br />I know my claims demand serious explanation and that is what my blog is about.
