One of the very funny things (from a retrospective view) about many of those who embrace Herr Nietzsche's philosophy (often, it seems, as male cosmetics to amplify the exterior appearance of their masculinity)is, well...
One of the funnier things is their view that Nietzsche planted traps in his ideas to catch the decadent and unware.
Well that is a pretty funny notion, because it essentialises so much the idea of the "decadent" who is attracted to the trap (the trap for decadence). The morally pure are, of course, not attracted to it and do not even venture very close. Well, there must be a good reason for that: they are afraid of decadence!
But, actually it's a very funny thing, that idea that women in particular are decadent, and therefore mustn't stray too far off from the Patriarchal Herd.
Why ever not? -- because they will simply fall into those traps that Nietzsche has set up for decadents!
But then again, what is one does go out there, far beyond the Patriarchy, so as to play? And what if the warnings and the accusations as to the "evil character" of those who venture forth is all proven to be entire nonsense?
What if one plays with even those most dangerous ideas, deemed to be too scary to venture towards because they are "traps for decadents"?
If one survives all this, what would one say to those that have been left behind?
