The idea that intellectualism is feminine is WRONG. All of you are proceeding from the same assumption. Because you see a high correlation between feminine behavior (lack of masculinity) and intelligence, you assume that intelligence is a feminine trait.
You're not stopping to consider the OTHER possibility. When someone is low on testosterone/has a more feminine attitude, they are not as active and they don't pursue the traditional kinds of physical play that boys and young men pursue. Nor do they make friends as easily. With a lot of spare time on their hands, many of them turn to more intellectual pursuits as a form of amusement/entertainment. Which allows them to develop their intellect more thoroughly.
Consider this...if intelligence is feminine, then the smartest WOMEN in the world should also be the most effeminate, girly ones out there.
I don't know about you, but in my experience the smartest women I've known have either been butch or just not very effeminate at all. The MOST effeminate girls are often utter MORONS.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
