• Educated Women are Intimidating to Men–Good.

  While driving home last night after class, I was listening to 97.1′s “Conway and Whitman” show and the topic was why men tend to get turned off by women who are well educated. Apparently there was an article in USA Today or something entitled, “Smart Women Finish Last,” and it mentioned how a greater number of intelligent women are single compared to dumb women. And of course, being a radio talk show, the host fielded phone calls from listeners, and most of them happened to be men. And guess what? All the opinions I heard were about how intelligent women tend to be more opinionated and argumentative, which turns men off. Therefore, men prefer dumb women because they don’t say anything.

  Naturally, as an educated woman, I was turned off by these comments. These men, who don’t like smart women because they “nag” too much, are obviously the type who crush beer cans on their foreheads and wipe their asses with beef jerky. You know, the kind of guys who still believe in “barefoot and pregnant,” and think beating their exgirlfriends will convince them to come back. Yeah, real winners. And do you know why they don’t like smart women? Because smart women are capable of seeing through the veil of chauvinism–and therefore know when a man is trying hard to hide the fact that his testicles are full of air.

  Here’s the thing: you don’t need to be smart to have opinions. And you don’t need to be smart to realize when someone says or does things that are wrong. So the argument that smart women tend to be more argumentative is completely hollow.

  So what’s the real issue? Some guys prefer to be ignorant of their own shortcomings; it makes them feel manly and dominant…and dumb girls have bad taste and therefore don’t notice those shortcomings.

  But smart girls, they’ve got class. They prefer men of their own kind, their own breed, and they’re aware that they are in a position to be able to pick and choose. So if you’re a guy with a minor flaw, but it irritates a smart girl, she will leave you and go find someone better. Because she can take care of herself, and therefore isn’t in any rush to get married to a breadwinner. She is the breadwinner.

  So for every guy who believes smart women are the Devil because they talk too much or whatever, those guys are exactly the type of guys that women with brains actively avoid. If we are the Devil, then you are the Plague. And you know…I would not trade my intelligence for all the money, fame, or success in the world—because that is my protection against deadbeat losers who spend their weekends sitting in ratty love seats and high-five each other whenever they hear someone on television say “ass.”
