The fundamental defect of the female character is a lack of a sense of justice. This originates first and foremost in their want of rationality and capacity for reflexion but it is strengthened by the fact that, as the weaker sex, they are driven to rely not on force but on cunning: hence their instinctive subtlety and their ineradicable tendency to tell lies: for, as nature has equipped the lion with claws and teeth, the elephant with tusks, the wild boar with fangs, the bull with horns and the cuttlefish with ink, so it has equipped woman with the power of dissimulation as her means of attack and defence, and has transformed into this gift all the strength it has bestowed on man in the form of physical strength and the power of reasoning. Dissimulation is thus inborn in her and consequently to be found in the stupid woman almost as often as in the clever one. To make use of it at every opportunity is as natural to her as it is for an animal to employ its means of defence whenever it is attacked, and when she does so she feels that to some extent she is only exercising her rights. A completely truthful woman who does not practice dissimulation is perhaps an impossibility, which is why women see through the dissimulation of others so easily it is inadvisable to attempt it with them. – But this fundamental defect which I have said they possess, together with all that is associated with it, gives rise to falsity, unfaithfulness, treachery, ingratitude, etc. Women are guilty of perjury far more often than men. It is questionable whether they ought to be allowed to take an oath at all.

Oh come on! I went to search the quote after I voted for hitler and turns out the answer is someone else -_-. I was trying to reason with myself who would most probably say this. I was like this dont sound like andrew tate at all since andrew tate talks about how he can get women easily and so definitely not him. couldnt be trump too since he have many wifes, dont sounnd like how putin phrases his words since putin usually goes more towards the point, dont think xi jinping would say something like this cause frankly i have never heard him talk about anything apart from poltics. Couldnt be the saudi prince either since he is muslim and (Im not an expert on islam, so im just saying what I think) he probably would date/marry someone who is muslim and im pretty sure islam dont show women as that way. So it had to be hitler since hitler did many drunk beer talks too and this could have been 1 of the topic he was simply just talking about to engage with the audience
i put andrew tate but i don't think he's that eloquent in speech, it sounds a bit like jordan peterson maybe or even hitler in mein kampf
There is a lot of truth in this quote.
