For the longest time, I simply refused to accept the possibility that some Freeper men were capable of being intimidated by intelligent, strong women. Surely, I thought, the idea of an everyday, intimate relationship with a first-class mind (especially when combined with a first-class body) just has to be every man's idea of the ideal relationship. No more begging on the Internet for a good chess partner, no more explaining for hours on end the rules of bridge, no more having to play Go against the computer yet again. And as for the idea that men are vulnerable in such a relationship, well, love by its very nature is an exercise in vulnerability anyway, isn't it?
Then, I started reading the Annika Sorenstam threads and the scales fell from my eyes.
Reminds me.. the other night my quite liberal girlfriend was reading a book by Germaine Greer and she read me a part of it.. something about how "Most women are not aware of how much men hate them".
At first I denied it, but then I thought about it.. might have some truth to it.
Ummm... Excuse Me, love. Count Me as one who has no problem with an intelligent woman thank you very much.
