“Their [women] pretences brought about by the exudency of the sexual situation which they exploit. Hence the duplicity and mendacity which characterise all their actions. Because woman lives vicariously, she needs take no moral responsibility for her behaviour. Because she has no responsibility, she has no morality and no ego. Because of the luck of ego and the variety of roles that women manipulate, they have no identity, as one may guess from their willingness to give up their names. Woman is never genuine at any period of her life.” - the most chastening reflection is that Weininger was simply describing what he saw in female behaviour around him.
