"Ultimately 'love of one's neighbor' is always something secondary, in part
conventional and arbitrarily illusory, when compared with fear of one's
neighbor... " BGE 201

"in moral hatred for suffering in general, in their almost feminine
incapacity to remain spectators of suffering..."  BGE 202

Elsewhere, Nietzsche writes of woman's role as the secondary role.

Nietzsche is quite right in observing that what makes us human is that we
are both creatures (solitary predators and not by nature herd animals which
is a human form of decadence) and creators. Perhaps you've a thought as to
what Nietzsche meant by "physio-psychology"?
