Fooled by Feminism - by Vox Day - (Gen Z - Pay Attention - this is for you! - CL)

 The uncomfortable truth? is that women leveled up and most men didn’t.

Of course they did. They did what they were told to do by decades of feminist programming. Of course, at no point did they ever bother to ask one single man what men preferred or question their programmed assumptions. And now that they’ve “leveled up” they’ve discovered that the next level gets them nothing.

I told people more than fifteen years ago that smart men are not attracted to smart women, that in fact the smarter a man is, the more he tends to prefer less intelligent women. The first Hypergamouse cartoon specifically addressed that. Consider this response to the mother of a very smart daughter, back in 2011, not long after the original articulation of the SSH......

... Do the same things that impress women, impress men?

No, the same things that impress women most certainly do not impress men. The first thing a smart young girl should contemplate is how sexually attractive she finds Stephen Hawking. Now divide that by a factor of 100. That’s about how much value boys place on her intelligence as a factor in how attractive they find her. Now, I understand there are decades worth of movies that have equated snappy, disrespectful banter with a) intelligence and b) attractiveness to men, but it must be kept in mind that these were movies written, produced, and directed by gay men, many of which starred secretly gay men, and not infrequently also happened to be starring women with lesbian leanings.

A triple-gay play is not a reliable model for successful heterosexual behavior. This is why those women who based their approach to the sexual market on Sex and the City tended to fail in spectacular fashion. Acting like a homosexual man is really not the ideal way to attract normal men. The only time men place any value whatsoever on female intelligence is a) when they are looking for a sugar mommy, or b) when they are contemplating the propagation of the species. If the male object of a woman’s interest doesn’t presently fall into one of those two categories, her intelligence is simply a complete non-factor....

....The problem is that because smart women find male intelligence intoxicating, they find it very difficult to imagine that smart men don’t feel the same way. But because female intelligence tends to express itself in a fairly light and haphazard manner, it doesn’t actually look all that different from a lack of intelligence to the intelligent man. Gifted classes and academic degrees mean nothing. I’m simply not going to be impressed if a woman indicates that she has heard of Sextus Empiricus or makes a reference to the Skeptical school of philosophy, especially if she does so in passing before spending the next half hour rambling on about people in exactly the same manner as the hot blonde with the implants and the perfect gym-honed posterior does.

Intelligence that is unused or foolishly directed is not substantively different than a lack of intelligence.
