Both men and women are equally vulgar, terrible, brutish and savage. In this regard, I discard the Lockean viewpoint on human nature and uphold the Hobbesian viewpoint. In addition, both men and women confuse their lascivious desires for love. The statement that you quoted Boleslav is not my philosophical viewpoint and it is not degrading to women for it is merely a truth depicting the vulgarity of people in general and women in particular. Also, keep in mind that your optimistim regarding the human species and humanity in general is delusional as humans are driven by impulses, avarice, lust and passion. Perhaps, it is correct to say that humans as a whole are devoid of reason and rationality.

As for my political philosophy, the masses are unenlightened, ignorant and savage. I uphold the rule of a benevolent figure as did Socrates and Plato compared to the rabble rule featured in the extremely flawed Athenian model of democracy. The great multitude of people are ignorant and obsequious to their passions. To man, we can only attribute fickleness, deceit, avarice, hypocrisy and malevolence.
