I could recount similar anecdotes, I think there is a lot to be said for the way that women who put their intelligence on display are treated. A talented intelligent male with an ego is regarded as a condescending elitist genius, but the same traits ascribed to a female makes her an intolerable bitch.
- Meai 15y agoThat is such a stereotype. If you are genuinely nice and intelligent, I can assure you that men would be very eager to battle their wits against yours. Most women just don't hold up to their own claims and they see such "attacks" as personal ; but the reality is that men are suddenly treating you as equal and you don't like it. Men do not discard a valuable member of a team just because of gender, that is ridiculous. In my experience women are more prone to claiming intelligence despite actual intelligence. Please be aware that I do not claim to be intelligent myself. In fact, I'm pretty darn stupid. It just makes it that much more apparent when I'm faced with such claims.
- StavrosK 15y agoI agree with that, there's nothing sexier than a battle of wits. Even more so if I lose.
- overgryphon 15y agoPerhaps some nice and intelligent women don't care to battle their wits against others to prove their intelligence. Such arguments are often tedious, use baseless arguments, and leave others out of the conversation.
