Smart + Female = No Male Lover?

So what's left for the scaremongers who want us to believe that women's education and equality are messing up their prospects for happy marriages?

So, another bit of the backlash debunked. Huzzah! I have always wondered why the MetaNarrator chose to tell men that they were too psychologically fragile to be happy with a peer. Of, course, I got why the MN would tell women, Careful, honey, he'll be scared of you if you have a PhD. Hell, my mother used to tell me not to mention I was in grad school on a date. To which my father spat, She had better tell them, it's true, why would she want a man whose put off by that? To which I said, Right, but I know there's only two of them, and neither one lives in Dallas. Then Maureen Dowd backed it up with the story of her friend who won a Pulitzer and then lamented, "Well, now I'll never date again." What was that old saying?, Feminism means everyone has to grow up. C'mon everybody, let's all go grow up. I mean really. I grew up reading, and in books, those tomes in which men tell the stories of what they wish they were (which, i was a kid, and lent more facticity too them than i should have), and I thought, Boy, I need to really learn a lot and make something of myself if I want to hang out with men like that. And I did want to, they were smart, brave, principled, handsome, willing to risk loss for their beliefs, and some of them were dashing, and some of them were sweet-hearted, and once in a while, they were all that. I mean, Dante went to Hell and got out in one piece. That was impressive. (true he was also a pedophile, but that detail got lost in the circles when i was 11) So, I set about trying to become a peer to That Guy. Then the MN set about telling him that I was a dangerous, Medusa-headed, castrating, dead-fish-of-a-lay. Well, no more MN, no o' That Jack.
