One quibble. I'm a man. At least, that's what my Dr. tells me. (*chuckle*)
And I absolutely L O V E babes with brains. Always have. Brainiac babes don't scare me at all.
I also don't mind at all if they actually ((( *gasp* ))) think for themselves, have opinions and don't act like fawning yes-men. (except for being female, of course.)
I expect that any woman who is smart enough to think for herself will disagree with me on dozens of things. And the fact she disagrees with me doesn't make one iota of difference in the regard in which she is held.
HOWEVER -- there is an ingrained tendency that is trained into people in some academic environments that causes them to automatically consider those who hold different opinions from themselves to be moral reprobates or criminally insane at worst and ungodly ignorant at best.
Now that particular attitude -- I can't stand. Disagreeing is cool. Treating me like I'm an inferior subhuman piece of pond scum because we disagree is NOT cool.
So a smart woman who can disagree without being disagreeable is darned cool in my book.
I never learned anything worthwhile from someone who mirrored my thoughts.
