Female Intelligence Quotes

“Feminine intuition? Is that what you wanted the robot for? You men. Faced with a woman reaching a correct conclusion and unable to accept the fact that she is your equal or superior in intelligence, you invent something called feminine intuition.”
― Isaac Asimov, Robot Visions

“Sometimes these white guys with outsized platforms say shit like James Comey did when he complained that his erstwhile classmate Amy Klobuchar was 'annoyingly smart,' perhaps because women are not supposed to be like that, in his worldview. Another man had the temerity to explain to me that, 'the really smart wonks don't end up being the media stars needed to win the presidency, i.e., Hillary Clinton--super smart, knows the facts, but comes off as smug and all-knowing. I get this from Kamala Harris too.' In other words, he assumes that they are women who know too much and the character defect is theirs, not his. The framework that intelligence is an asset in a man and a defect in a woman is nastily familiar.”
