Anyone else think Machiavelli's The Prince is kinda problematic and sexist..? Why do people even read it if it gets women wrong.

Daily reminder to read the Straussians.
Leo Strauss, Thoughts on Machiavelli
Leo Strauss, "Three Waves of Modernity"
Arthur Melzer, Philosophy Between the Lines
Harvey Mansfield, Machiavelli's Virtue
Harvey Mansfield, Machiavelli's New Modes and Orders
And also a reminder to read the Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livius, and not just The Prince. The two go together.

No, but I do think it is unfathomably cringe, and only read by men who are either milquetoast faggots with skinny wrists and strong glasses, who learned about masculinity by reading blogs, or 80 IQ criminal thugs. It is no better than 48 Laws of Power or whatever other gay self-help faggotry that tops check-out lists in prison libraries, and the same goes for Aurelius' Meditations, which is also an incredibly gay book, written by a confirmed opium addict (Galen's records of his time as Aurelius' personal physician are available through any reputable library).
