O presente artigo tratará das ambivalências do pensamento de Mina Loy, conforme apresentado em seus poemas e no Manifesto Feminista, em vias de situá-lo como resposta à psicologia europeia da virada do século XIX para o XX, em especial às concepções do feminino de Otto Weininger. Deste modo, pretende-se entender como a forma poética já carrega em si algo de uma invectiva contra o modo, masculino (DERRIDA, 1993), de valorizar o saber que Loy pretende destruir em prol de afirmações positivas de uma identidade feminina.

Otto Weininger

In 1903, Otto Weininger, twenty-three, Viennese, Jewish, and an imminent suicide, published his misogynist manifesto Sex and Character and created an international sensation. ‘One began’, reported a contemporary, ‘to hear in the men's clubs of England and in the cafés of France and Germany – one began to hear singular mutterings among men. Even in the United States where men never talk about women, certain whispers might be heard. The idea was that a new gospel had appeared.’ Weininger's new gospel tied the spiritual progress of the human race to the repudiation of its female half. Women, said Weininger, are purely material beings, mindless, sensuous, animalistic and amoral; lacking individuality, they act only at the behest of a ‘universalised, generalised, impersonal’ sexual instinct. For humanity to achieve its spiritual destiny, men – particularly ‘Aryan’ men, who had not suffered a racial degeneracy that made the task impossible – must achieve the individualistic supremacy first revealed by the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. In order to do this, they must both rid themselves of the femininity within them and reject their sexual desires for the women around them.
