I said this in another comment but I’ll repeat it here Insurance companies have spent thousands of dollars in research only to find that men are more impulsive, worse decision makers, and more irrational with their decision making. It’s why stuff such as auto insurance for example actually have higher rates for men instead of women
That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive for it. That’s the hard part, because we may never make it to total equality, but I would rather walk towards it than not. And don’t let society bring you down. It’s not to say that you shouldn’t listen to society, but sometimes society is wrong, and in all cases, society should never dictate how valuable you feel. It’s not easy when there’s obstacles in the way, but we must find ways to overcome them. And once you’re through, the rest will follow.
That’s easy for you to say because you’re not a woman. I understand we need to move toward equality but I don’t think you get how hard it is to not have anger and resentment towards society when you get continuously fucked over. It’s okay for women to be pissed and want some sort of dominance over men for once. Truly it is not hurting men because they will remain on top no matter what
That doesn’t mean you push something that isn’t actually true. You don’t need to be in competition for the “I’m better than”s, you just have to show that in whatever you do you’re just as abled and capable as anybody else in your field. Thats a win, because people won’t be looking down at you, you’ll be looking at them.
If I’m intelligent it doesn’t necessarily mean I can’t fall into the usual traps of believing things that are false but I think a certain type of intelligence comes with having the self awareness to recognize the condition of one’s life and circumstance. It would be taking what is a foundation or rule and understanding what you are limited and not limited in doing. Most people write the alphabet A-Z, but it would be intelligent to recognize upon accepting that foundation that you could also
Write it backwards, in a circle, or both. And those things might seem trivial, but it requires one self to look beyond the boundaries of what is at face value or of what is said and be able to in some shape or form make connections. And maybe this definition is completely wrong, but with so much to consider it is easy to take a complexity and little it down in the wrong combination of places into something unrecognizable.
so to over simplify what u just said, intelligence can be compared to empathy in that it comes from the ability to see things from multiple sides, to take into account variables you may be unfamiliar with in your life, and make the conscious decision to do what is right, not necessarily whats easy, is that fair to say?
