"It's a man's world, so get used to it!"

If a man says something, it's probably true. Women's opinions don't matter as much as mens'.

You have to flatter men and play dumb, in order to feed the "male ego". Men have big egos and you should not compete with them or show them you're smart, or they won't LIKE YOU.

And if they don't like you, that is a terrible thing.

I decided I was not going to "play dumb" with any man. If he was threatened by my mind, I didn't want to be around him. So I dated extremely bright men I could have good conversations with. Nothing about sports or Star Trek.

Women are supposed to wait on men, because they are helpless. You have to be able to cook and clean for them.
