I know that this topic is very controversial. Conservatives have always complained about radical feminism, and such radical feminists are over-represented among women with graduate degrees.
Are women without college degrees better than women with graduate degrees, when it comes to fulfilling the job of wife and mother?
Are they intimidated by feminist women?
I’m not sure “intimidated” is the correct word to describe a guy’s reaction to frigid women.
If by "highly-educated feminist women", you mean dismissive, disinterested, ever suspicious, tattooed arrogant,sociopath shrews... in hipster glasses, skinny jeans and Ugg boots... the answer is no, not "intimidated", just very turned off.
Because the husband is supposed to provide and protect and if he doesn’t look out for the wife, no one will. Too many husbands want to be mommied and when there are kids that really need to be mommied, mommy can’t do it for husband too.
Is it a lonely job being a husband and a father? It can be. But it’s worse if you fail at it.
A degree in womyn’s studies is an indicator that the woman in question was not intelligent enough to make it in a more demanding field. It also indicates that, by graduation, the woman shall be indoctrinated to have an immense feeling of entitlement and grievance against men in general. Such women are to be avoided like the plague.
I would take a high-school dropout with a sweet personality over a college educated "womyn's studies" major with a bad attitude. I would take a high-school dropout with a sweet personality over ANY sort of college grad with a bad attitude. You have to live with them. You don't need to be able to discuss philosophy with them (that's what FR is for).
Intelligence in women is overrated, both in terms of its depth, and in terms of its usefulness.
Can she learn the basic commands, know enough not to nag, and buy the right beer when she goes to the store? Everything else is probably a potential liability.
It may have a perfectly reverse correlation however......

My ex was as dumb as a rock. Things did not work well for us. Of course, I don’t mean to say all women in this category are bad wives.
Conversely; the women we met in Tennessee are absolutely wonderful...kind, courteous, compassionate. Polar opposites.
I see. A man needing care and affection from his wife is wanting to be “mommied.” A woman needing care and affection from her husband is not being “daddied,” babied or any such negative characterization. Husbands play no role in care and affection for their children, only women provide that.
Nope, no bias there.
I didn’t marry my wife because I think she has a low IQ. In fact, she has a higher college degree than I do. I married her because she is my equal and we compliment eachother well. The feminist thinks she’s better than a man and that only the man is lucky to be with her, not her lucky to be with him equally. Life’s too short for me to be dealing with whatever issues these feminists got going on.
Answer:
IS SHE HOT?
Pretty darn simple.
Well said.
A man had three girlfriends, a blonde, a brunette and a redhead. He couldn’t choose which one to marry, so he gave each of them $1,000 dollars to see what they would do with it.
The blonde when to Victoria’s secret and bought a bunch of sexy bedroom lingerie and sex toys. The brunette invested it in stock futures and made $10,000 dollars in two weeks. The redhead spent the money on gifts and dates for him.
He was stumped, all three had used their gifts in different and inventive ways. After giving it much thought and consideration, he decided to marry the one with the largest breasts.
I think you have to be fairly smart to earn an advanced degree but being “smart” doesn’t always make a person “wise”.
There are plenty of ordinary people without advanced educations who are also smart. They too are not always “wise”.
If given a choice in a woman, friend etc., always pick “wise”....because you can be smart without being wise but you cannot be wise without being smart.
Proverbs 31 says it all. Hard to find, but they are out there. I even found one in Red England, but she was the LAST one. Sorry, guys.
Personally I like bright, well spoken smart women.
The type that are on this site! :)

Honesty is the most important characteristic. If she lies to you - even in small things - she probably lies to herself also.
Over the long run, that’s a killer.
From experience, I would recommend avoiding a moderately intelligent woman who THINKS she has a high IQ.
Seriously, these are the main points of the choice:
1- Is she likeable enough to where you enjoy her company
2- Is she well-grounded in a realistic view of the world (she cannot be stupid to succeed there)
3- Most important of all, while we are all selfish to a point, she cannot be overly selfish. If she is, you, everybody else and every thing around her is trumped by what she wants and what she feels, whether she is just in her thinking or not. It is unfettered selfishness that kills most marriages. . . learned from experience, observation, and a study of scripture searching for my answer to “why?”.
