He stated, in a separate work, that women had fewer teeth as an example of his views on their inferiority. Makes you want to take everything he said with a grain of salt.

In his defense (sorry if defending him offends here), women probably did, at the time, often have fewer teeth due to worse dental care.

An original source for this. I wonder if wisdom teeth affected this count? It’s so odd of a claim

		Women and men have identical dental anatomy, so no, it's not wisdom teeth. Women would technically be earlier and thus have more, if you get into the details. Aristotle has flaws, that's all. I love his work on happiness. On the academic side of Philosophy, I believe his conception stands alongside what is typically called "Hedonism" defining the two major schools of thought, obviously with modern takes and twists. See the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on "Happiness" if you're interested.
