there are many many brilliant women out there.. and throughout history, they have had limited voice because the discourse was limited to the society of men. That doesn't mean men are smarter.. on the contrary..
Look at the reactions to Descartes' meditations-- the best correspondance came from a woman who pointed to the conflict of an immaterial mind joining with a material body.
Nazis are a conservative-reactionary force who fight against change, who war, and exclude-- put faith in the fuhrer, exterminate the population... Feminists are the opposite of this. The real Nazis are you right-wing fools who are so deluded you don't even know what side of the fence you're on.

Well this may be up for debate, but the Priestesses at Delphi during Ancient Greek times were worshipped for their visions and philosophies.
