Don't think it's known for sure that Nietzsche did receive that certain
disease (insofar as that certain disease was certain at all) from a certain
woman, or that there was a sexual encounter with a woman, only or not....
It does seem dubious to leap to "views on women," explained or justified,
from such speculative biography....   anyone have thoughts on that?
