I'm in my mid-50s and I can count on 1 hand the number of women I have known in my life who are of truly superior intelligence, whom I found engaging, fascinating interlocutors, and challenged me intellectually in a way that made me grow, expanded my horizons, or kept my interest.
Most women conflate snarky or sarcastic verbal repartee, belligerence, and tantrums as marks of "superior intelligence", when in reality most men just walk away, sickened by it. That's when the "you can't handle a strong woman" retorts start flying.
