Nietzsche displayed a similar sort of sexism. Lately, I've been getting
the idea that Nietzsche was primarily motivated by a HUGE case of
womb-envy, of which he remained only subliminally aware to the end of
his life. Perhaps "male genius" is the result of a womb-envy-inspired
effort by the male to transform his own brain into some sort of memetic
super-womb.

Just a thought. Those who knew Heinlein and Leary are invited to
comment.
