Do very intelligent men sometimes dislike women?

Question

In my experience, men who I would regard to be as superior intellectually have always treated women with the respect they deserve, care for them and are good to them because that is what they believe. I also notice, however, that a part of them dislikes women. What do you have to say about this? If you're going to call me a nazi, like some of you no doubt will, please do so constructively and in an appropriate manner.

Dislike in the sense that they are angry with women and generally look down on them.

Damn it GOD you are nit picking. They DISLIKE women. They look DOWN on them. They sit there and say, "Anorexia...bullimia...diets....gold diggers...never know what they want..." and just tick them off one by one shaking their heads cause they think women are stupid.

Answer 1

In their feelings and confusions about interpersonal relationships, men of all intellects and socieities come to grumble about women from time to time. And, interestingly, they all grumble about the same issues, which basically revolve around some deep part of men that gets upset when women whom they let in close reneged on some unspoken covenant to be mothers to them. That's when men grumble, about women whom they trust to be unconditionally loving or trusting . . .like mothers . . .and whom disappoint them them about that in some way. I avoid the momma boys. The men who grow up and leave momma behind, intellectual or not, are seriously interesting souls.

Answer 2

I don't see why anyone should call you a Nazi, you have a perfectly reasonable question and you asked it in a more than reasonable manner.

Genectically, t is 'scripted' in our reproductive genes to like women and not dislike the opposite gender. (Exceptions do apply.) Thus it is not by default that intelligent men would not like women.

However, you could be onto something. From the sounds of it, most would agree that these men seem to have an ulterior motivation for disliking women, usually something in their past. Perhaps their mother was mean to them, leading them to be the intelligent individual they are today..

Or more likely, when they were young, they were often categorized as a nerd and therefore disliked or treated ill by the opposite gender when compared to other males. Our past has a lot more control over our subconscious and unconscious minds than some of us care to admit. (Which is probably why it remains subconscious.) And this would be a decent reason.

That being said, this doesn't happen to all intelligent young males in all areas, so while it can be very true in one area, it may be very untrue for another set of males.

Hope this helps,

I think you're confusing the battle of the sexes with men's attitude towards women. There are many areas of life where men and women often have different attitudes. These areas will cause friction, no matter how intelligent the individuals. It's possible to like or love some one and still be angry with them. You don't need to dislike them to be displeased.

Answer 4

We can´t say that extremly intelligent men, who dislike women are dum or not intelligent at all...
What they feel about women is fear, fear for their thoughts, fear to be rejected, fear of insecurity, fear of broken heart that will never heal...always fear about them selfs and what women think about them, they misinterpretate womens body language (is simple they use their brain too much... while other man think with something else... down there).
Because very intelligent men are more aware off what women assembles to be, their feelings and thoughts its sensibility and so..., they get to the conclusion 10 times prior anyone else, and have a extremly criativity and imagination (they almost predict a certain situation..then they are afraid that it could become true).
They are afraid to give space in for a women, 'cause love is also entertaining but it takes a lot of time and energies . They rather have that time and energy to dedicate it for research, studying to acquire more knowledge, because those things will always be there for them and will not ever disappoint them, or break their heart...and more they discover more they are fascinated by knowledge and anything else is forgotten.
Look at our greatest genius of our world (except Einstein) like Galileo Galilea, Leonardo DaVinci, Thomas Edison and so on...
these genius considered that love for women are superficial and easily disappearing and hard to understand, while homosexuall love was easier... more comprehensional with no major committment and both where looking for the same thing, knowledge.
So yes, we could say that extremly intelligent men tend to be homosexuall, like Leonardo DaVinci had a passion for his apprentice so as Galileo for his helper.
There's also another hand...that extremly intelligent men are more polite and respectfull to women...but those are not those who have hunger for knowledge.

Answer 5

Frankly, I would say that they are not that intelligent. What you are describing there (anorexia, etc...) are very complex socially and psychologically, and, of course, not every woman is any of those things. To ignore the complexity of a mental illness such as anorexia, and attribute it entirely to the "defectiveness" (or what have you) of women iin general is stereotyping, and to apply stereotyping to a group of people is to ignore the human complexity of people. Stereotyping is a means of processing a lot of information by over-simplifying; thus one can categorize, and break apart those categories from there. It is often useful, but falls apart when applied to humans, again, because of our complexity. Anyone who insists on allowing stereotypes to form and dominate their view of an entire group of people, as in, "All backs are __," or "Asians can't__," or "All women are__,", and then let those stereotypes taint their view of a whole chunk of humanity, lack the ability to process highly complex forms of information, and lack the emotional maturity to view entire groups of people as being nothing more than "human," just like them. OR, they are prejudiced. They may be intelligent, but refuse to see the humanity of others because of personal or cultural biases. This is a psychological defect. (It is interesting to note that many psychological problems, such as sociopathy, are characterized by deprecation toward the other sex, or another race...it is the inability to see those others as fully human that causes this.) Either way, it is a defect, either intellectual or psychological, that hinders such people from not seeing the full complexity of each human being, and thus over-simplify them. Thus, they cannot be truly intellectually superior.

Answer 6

Do you only observe this in men who regard themselves as intellectually superior? If so, it would be consistent with a male harbouring a superiority complex. It would be less about "disliking" women than identifying them as a group that he can feel superior to, and pity graciously enough to treat them with civility.

Answer 7

of course they do, if they are smarter than the women they are messing with. Every egghead looks down on people he/she thinks are stupid, do matter how hard they try to disguise it.

And hey, there are some cool things about being a NAZI. They dress really sharp.

Answer 8

i might not be typical, but i personally cannot deal w/ a woman if i dont think shes intelligent. im 21, and everytime i have feelings for a woman shes usually about 5 years older then i am, girls my age just seem really immature and dont know what the worlds all about. so dont worry, even though alot of guys are after the ditsy moron type, theres guys out there who really respect what you got goin on in between your ears.

Answer 9

What you are unclear about is the definition of dislike... as in dislike and would rather be with a man instead.
Dislike as in would rather like to no treat them with respect
Dislike as in any relationship over time a loving hate developes? Please elaborate and I'd love to try and answer you.

Answer 10

I'm guessing smart men will prefer smart women. I dont know any smart men who dislike all women unless they are gay & just dont swing that way. I dont know what this has to do with Nazis though. What an odd question.
