From "Beyond Good and Evil", I can confirm that Nietzsche was misogynistic and belittled women's intelligence.
Examples:
1. "When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexuality."
2. "In revenge and in love woman is more barbarous than man."
3. Woman learns how to hate to the extent that she unlearns how -to charm."
Though, while looking deeper into the history of Nietzsche, I found that in 1876, he proposed marriage to a woman who thus declined his offer. This had to be heartbreaking, turning an already monstrous Dr. Jekyll into a self-loathing, sick, and deranged Mr. Hyde. Or, maybe it was the diphtheria, perhaps the syphilis?
"And when you gaze long into an abyss that abyss also gazes into you" .... wow.

Wow. Clearly some people's understanding of Nietzsche's concepts will be reduced to nothing more than juvenile personal critiques, perhaps in an attempt to sweep under the rug those dangerous ideas which they do not understand. Sounds like someone thought that gazing long into the abyss of their own intellectual shortcomings was enough to "confirm" the validity of playing the misogyny card yet again.
