Montherlant’s ideal woman is totally stupid, subjugated, and justified only by male pleasure

Evidence

Montherlant approves the Oriental attitude: as an object of pleasure, the weak sex has a place—modest, of course, but worthwhile—on earth; the pleasure it gives man justifies it, and that pleasure alone. The ideal woman is totally stupid and totally subjugated; she is always willing to welcome the man and never ask anything of him. — Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex, 462
