Subject: Re: there is a simpler explanation about women and intelligence
wrong; one; my very best PhD student was female; smartest woman I ever knew;
she has decided to quit being a professor and is now an accupuncturist; that
is the point; no matter how smart, she wanted to be liked or some such crap;
also she failed to be brilliant when I made her leave Yale; she needed a man in
order to be smart; they all do
