Guest guest Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I wanted to add also that I think men already buy into this idea so often in our society, that women are not as intelligent. It makes sense when we are bombarded daily by sexual images and it's all about how a woman looks. Not who she is. Or, what she can do. I think that men often feel superior anyways. Because, women have different interests than they do and interests that men feel are less important. Most of us probably can't talk to men about how to re-build the car or wire the wall. Because, we don't care about it. We have many other areas we are involved in and need to worry about. It doessn't make us less inteligent. Just different. But, some men can't seem to see that. Atleast, that's been my experience in dating them and being married to one. Interesting, I read a research article from grade school. They divided these fifth graders into groups and had them decide how to solve and complete a problem together. And they found that even then, because the girls tended to attack it from a different angle than the boys...the boys felt the girls were " stupid. " If I can find a link to that I'll post it. Basically, in our society, I don't think that we need any help making men feel superior to women, by acting dumb. > > My mother had to play stupid in front of men because > she believed that they would be intimidated if they > thought she was smart.
