What about this little extract?
'Will and willingness - Someone took a youth to a sage and said: "Look, he is being corrupted by women." The sage shook his head and smiled. "It is men," said he, "that corrupt women; and all the failings of women should be atoned by and improved in men. For it is man who creates for himself the image of woman, and woman forms herself according to this image."
"You are too
kindhearted about women" said one of those present; "you do not know them." The sage replied: "Will is the manner of men; willingness that of women. That is the law of the sexes - truly a hard law for women. All of humanity is innocent of its existence; but women are doubly innocent. Who could have oil and kindness enough for them?"
"Dam oil, damn kindness!" someone else shouted out of the crowd; "women need to be educated better!" - "Men need to be educated better, said the sage and beckoned to the youth to follow him.
The youth, however did not follow
him.'
(Nietzsche, The Gay Science)

More, directly from his works.
"Man should be trained for war and woman for the recreation of the
warrior : all else is folly..." (Thus Spake Zarathustra, Old and
Young Women)
"To be mistaken in the fundamental problem of "man and woman," to
deny here the profoundest antagonism and the necessity for an
eternally hostile tension, to dream here perhaps of equal rights,
equal training, equal claims and obligations: this is a typical sign
of shallow-mindedness, and a thinker who has proved himself shallow
at this dangerous spot - shallow in instinct! - may be regarded as
suious, nay more, as betrayed, as discovered; he will probably prove
be too "short" for all the fundamental questions of life, future as
well as present, and will be unable to descend into any of the
depths. On the other hand, a man who has depth of spirit as well as
of desires, and also the depth of benevolence which is capable of
severity and harshness, and easily confounded with them, can only
think of woman as Orientals do:he must conceive of her as a
possession, as confinable property, as a being predestined for
service and accomplishing her mission therein - he must take his
stand in this matter upon the immense rationality of Asia, upon the
superiority of the instinct of Asia, as the Greeks did formerly..."
[Beyond Good and Evil, 238]
"Woman is unspeakably more wicked than man, also cleverer. Goodness
in woman is really nothing but a form of degeneracy." [Daybreak]
"Far too long hath there been a slave and a tyrant concealed in
woman. On that account woman is not yet capable of friendship:
she knoweth only love." [Thus Spake Zarathustra]
"In woman's love there is injustice and blindness to all she doth not
love. And even in woman's conscious love, there is still always
surprise and lightning and night, along with the light.
As yet woman is not capable of friendship: women are still cats and
birds. Or at the best, cows." [ib.]

Three heavens there are; two Savitar's, adjacent:
In Yama's world is one, home of heroes.
As on a linch-pin, firm, rest things immortal:
He who hath known it, let him here declare it.
- Rig Veda I.35 (Griffith)
