That the engine that drive progress and morality is ressentiment, as
explained in other posts.

Yes, feminists will point this out every chance they get. However we are
still glossing over the fact that many men were not much better off than
the women, and some women were even able to achieve power and status well
above most men. There have always been exceptional women in all ages that
did not let mere tradition get in their way. Aspasia most likely did not
gain her status through resentment of men. For another possibility on
Nietzsche's thoughts on women, maybe this will help:
