The reason I no longer have philosophical discussions with Wendy (prior to my resolution to limit myself to Dutch, which I’ve obviously broken–though I still want to continue that experiment) is that she’s a woman:

Note that, when immediately after writing that post, I for the first time in quite a while talked philosophy to my girlfriend, I made her cry for the first time in a long while.
One can be a woman and belong to the first caste, however. Is it then perhaps Wendy’s (kind of) Christianity that makes her a chandala from a Nietzschean point of view? But Nietzsche exclaimed:
“[A]s if a woman without piety would, for a profound and godless man, not be something perfectly contrarious or laughable”! (BGE 239.)
Still, I think it is her kind of Christianity, but not the piety in it! As Nietzsche also said:
“One shall be harder against Protestants than against Catholics, harder against liberal Protestants than against firmly believing ones. The criminality in being a Christian increases in the measure that one approaches science. The criminal of criminals is consequently the philosopher.” (The Antichrist, “Law against Christianity”.)
And:
“Definition of Protestantism: the hemiplegia [half-sided paralysis] of Christianity–and of reason…” (AC 10.)
Reason (science, philosophy) paralyzes Christianity and Christianity paralyzes reason. This is why “[t]he priest is our chandala”:
“Vicious is every kind of antinature. The most vicious kind of human being is the priest: he teaches antinature. Against the priest one does not have arguments, one has the house of correction.” (“Law against Christianity”.)
“The antinatural is natural to the mind of humanity” (Lampert, Nietzsche’s Teaching, page 228): this means that “the basic will of the mind”, which is “divinized into the most artful of beings, divine womanliness [i.e., Ariadne]”, is a will not to know nature; whereas “the contrary will of the mind”, which is “divinized into a philosopher god, divine manliness” (op.cit., page 234), is a natural will against that natural will against nature. Wendy is an abomination inasmuch as she represents the hemiplegia of these two natures, male and female human nature.
“These two classes of men are always upon earth, & they should be enemies: whoever tries to reconcile them seeks to destroy existence.
Religion is an endeavour to reconcile the two.” (Blake, MHH.)
Blake can simply say “religion” because Christianity (Catholicism) itself is already a liberalisation, a perversion of the completely natural, completely irrational: tribal animism. For those who have eyes to read or ears to hear:
“The history of our species shows that enormous danger has enhanced two aspects of humanity: mind [Geist] and will. Mind, humanity’s ‘strength of invention and strength of alteration,’ developed under prolonged pressure and compulsion into something ‘refined and daring.’ Will intensified itself under such conditions from ‘life-will’ into ‘power-will.’ The latter term emends the term used in this sentence in the drafts: will to power; ‘life-will’ is itself already a will to power. Will to power as human life-will expands beyond mere survival in ages of greatest danger and ascends to human power-will.” (Nietzsche’s Task, page 98.)
Human life-will is Wollust, human power-will is Herrschlust. Woman is stronger-willed in the sense of the former; man is stronger in the sense of the latter:
“Mind is life which itself cuts into life[.]” (Zarathustra, “Of the Famous Wise”.)
