Essay; Mindset-Why Do People Hate Smart Women? | Psychology Today


February 13,2026; Happy Valentines Day. 😂

Also posted on November 3, 2025, and January 9, 2023.

This is another great article on this topic, only this time the comments are super revealing. Inquiring minds need to know. It’s dated 2017. Be sure and read the article first and then the comments.

Here is a pulled quote-

All these reasons that follow can be considered in terms of cognitive dissonance, the unpleasant experience of holding incompatible ideas. One idea is that a woman just said something smart. What follows are reasons for believing that women shouldn’t say smart things. The conflict is typically resolved by marginalizing the woman or denying that she said something smart.

This is a comment by S.C. on this great article.

Being an incomplete female, the male spends his life attempting to complete himself, to become female. He attempts to do this by constantly seeking out, fraternizing with and trying to live through and fuse with the female, and by claiming as his own all female characteristics — emotional strength and independence, forcefulness, dynamism, decisiveness, coolness, objectivity, assertiveness, courage, integrity, vitality, intensity, depth of character, grooviness, etc — and projecting onto women all male traits — vanity, frivolity, triviality, weakness, etc.

It should be said, though, that the male has one glaring area of superiority over the female — public relations. (He has done a brilliant job of convincing millions of women that men are
women and women are men). The male claim that females find fulfillment through motherhood and sexuality reflects what males think they’d find fulfilling if they were female.”- the link.

“It is true that a lot of people hate intelligent women, but they don’t like to admit to it. Watch how frequently intelligent women have their appearance insulted. Those people are expressing their jealousy at her intelligence, whilst at the same time trying to persuade her that her intelligence has no value, because most people only care about a woman’s looks. Comparing mothers and fathers you’ll find that when a father goes to work, he’s “providing for his family”, but when a mother goes to work, she’s “abandoning her children”.

Here is a comment by Cathy. This one is good, and I’ve had the same thing happen in physicians’ offices I’ve worked in where I solved a patient’s body dilemma.

“I’ve experienced rabid reactions from men numerous times in relation to points 3 and 6. (in the article). Both of those points are related. Just conversing in terms of normal average level of intelligence in a spirit of shared understanding in a social situation has resulted in men lashing out immediately with paranoid and derogatory accusations that what I am really doing is trying to make out that I “know something”.

Apparently, as an adult woman I am not allowed to “know something”. I am talking about just normal conversations referring to everyday things. If I try to point that out to defend myself all they do is continue to accuse me of trying to make out I “know something” by referring to everyday things, as if that made me a rotten b……

These men would never explain to me what their problem was, and I was always unprepared for this crap because it is so irrational, but it relates to the idea that many men don’t think their theory of mind relates to women, so in their mind we would never be ‘able’ to have a normal conversation for real, so therefore it must be some kind of trick that we are playing on them.

I wondered if it might just be men of low socio-economic status that had this faulty thinking. Then at one point I dated the CEO and founder of a software company. He prided himself on an image of himself as a man of extra high intelligence, so I thought he would know better. Unfortunately, not.

On a day out we were in a shop that sold games that tested intelligence. He wanted to go in, but I have no liking for those kinds of games, so I went into another shop, and he was in there on his own and he and another guy spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to extract this piece of metal out of a glass bottle. Apparently, it’s rigged so you must be smart to figure out how to get it out.

By the time I walked into the shop he and the guy had given up. They handed me the bottle, and after looking at it for about 30 seconds I figured it out and extracted the piece of metal. My CEO boyfriend says to me “If we (he and the other guy) couldn’t figure it out how could you do it” – with the emphasis on the word ‘you’. He was really shocked and kept going on and on how it would have had to be a fluke that I got the metal bit out and that I couldn’t have really solved it for real.

It was really insulting, yet he seemingly had no recognition that he was being insulting and derogatory to me. I politely explained to him that to get the thing out I actually had to work out the only way it could come out, I didn’t just randomly jigger with the thing and fluke it – but he vehemently objected to the idea that I could have been able to do any such thing, and when I asked him why he thought that he said that he didn’t believe that I could be smart enough to do even one single thing that he and another guy couldn’t do.

When I asked him to explain why he would think that he couldn’t explain. That made two things he couldn’t figure out in 20 minutes for someone who proclaimed himself to be so incredibly intelligent. It’s obviously a delusional theory of mind, and it’s a very common experience that I have had with men and it’s disgusting. It’s made me stay away from relationships, and social situations altogether where I will come in contact with men.”

I’ll stop there. All I can say is I can relate. Also note, there are very intelligent women out there who play dumb because it makes a man feel more secure so she can use him for sex or money. It manipulates his ego. That’s one way to play it. I don’t waste my time on that.

Republican Outspoken Rep Marjorie Taylor Green Resigns after being used and thrown by Trump


Trump really screwed up this time by crossing her. She has a national following, not just a regional one, and doubtful he knew that because to him, she’s just another dumb woman.

Media online are very suspicious of this event, and civilians in the comments accurately think she was threatened by  the DC mafia who are imo, black ops.

She is Red 13 Cosmic Moon. See below. Tone 13’s have no time for B.S. and we don’t compromise with evil. And we don’t fit into social institutions well bc they are fake.

She states that she is not a battered woman in denial. Face facts. Women are expected to bear the brunt of abuse, suck it up, and take it. Sure men get treated badly too but they are programmed to be as mean and power hungry as possible and do whatever they can to take it all and win, even trample on women and children. There are some good men out there for sure, but the patriarchal system knows how to punish the men if they don’t act like monsters. They have to resist that and many don’t. It’s hard to resist grabbing power that’s handed to you at birth just because you’re male.

The days of women of both parties being used and shat on by rich and powerful men need to hit the bricks and be over. Shame on Trump. So glad I didn’t vote for him. Listen to her speech.

She is Red 13 Cosmic Moon universal feelings guided by my gateway Red 13 Skywalker cosmic movement and prophecy. I’ve always liked her and thought she was being far too patient with B.S. in Washington.

Look at her analog! KIN 130, White 13 Dog, the Holy Spirit. Her anipode is rough; Blue 13 Storm. Her Hidden Wisdom, magnetic Human, is the same as Italy PM, Georgia Meloni.

MTG has it going on and walked…good.

Ghislane Maxwell’s Birth Gateway


She’s back in the news. Immunity or no immunity. She supported the predator men to be predators so likely she will get some help. It’s wrong. There’s quite a bit more developing on this issue that you won’t see covered in MSM. She’s already been transferred to a cushy Federal facility where she can be fancy again. The woman is a pedophile.

She is very smart, ambitious, aggressive, successful,  rich, and networked, thin, and beautiful. That is perfect by our superficial standards. She was born into that type of family as well. They were even Anglican religious. (Known for Masonic involvement). The Washington National.Cathedral is Anglican, and my cousin was the music presenter there.

Yet the whole group of the Maxwell family are criminal, probably mafia, no real moral compass, no regard for the law or others, sexually deviant. And now she’s convicted of sex trafficking young girls for the elite to prey on. She went to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, and Bill visited the island 38 times. She’s given the DOJ 100 names.

Don’t be enamored of people because they are rich and famous. People who chase that or want it are usually the lowest level of ethics on earth because they are insecure and wounded by their birth family and haven’t healed it.

Well, it’s very difficult. This self-existing kin is brilliant and able to think on their feet in tight situations. She was born on Christmas Day and was raised Anglican, but she was Jewish, so that’s a tense pulse for her. She is a Capricorn Sun, 64 years old.

Saturn mediates and runs in all dimensions here, so lots of karma and discipline pulsing. She is a major hard ass and all about business and money. An aggressive Warrior.

She’s guided by people who think for themselves but don’t care about the boundaries and laws of society. That could be innovative if she was in the light, but she was very much using her instinct about people and her brilliance to take people, women, to the dark side aggressively like a warrior.

It looks like her mother was sexually promiscuous or ran her own prostitution ring, so Maxwell was probably groomed in the business. That is Red 10 Serpent in the Hidden Wisdom mother position.

Looking at her antipode, her father died? He did, but more profound was the death of brother Michael in 1967. It is discussed in Wikipedia. She was probably neglected and left alone a lot as a child, and her crime father probably abused her.

Her father was murdered. That is White 4 Worldbridger. They were basically a Jewish mafia Maxwell crime family. She was born into it. Her brothers both ended up in jail. Her family were very wealthy and very bad people.

Maxwell had a close relationship with her father (how close?) and was reportedly his favourite.[10][24][12] According to Tatler, Maxwell recalled that her father installed computers at Headington in 1973 and her first job was training to use a Wang 2200 and later programming code.[25] The Times reported that he did not permit Maxwell to bring her boyfriends home or to be seen with them publicly, after she started attending Oxford University.[26][6]”
