“Again, the evil practices of the last and worst form of democracy are all found in tyrannies. Such are the power given to women in their families in the hope that they will inform against their husbands…”
“Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him”
How do women have a good time under tyranny? This doesn’t apply anymore because women were given rights that are being stripped again under tyranny. The only maga women ‘voting against’ their husbands are those that are brainwashed by the fundie propaganda.
If you take a hard look at the experience of women in a marriage in modern times where they don’t need a husband anymore to have credit, buy property, etc - it is truly awful and not something anyone would choose with eyes open unless their society had thoroughly socialized them to center men completely.
I don’t expect Aristotle to have meditated much on the experience of women and slaves
Tyranny in Aristotle’s times was often about giving rights to underclasses to secure their support against slaveowning class. Aristotle was himself a member of the slaveowning class, so he was not a fan.
Wow, just like
