You echo my thoughts on gender and intelligence. I feel that my wife and I are of equal intelligence, it just manifests itself in different ways. She claims to be bad at math, but in truth I think she's not just interested in it. She's capable of problem solving when she needs to. She's been socialized to be more interested in humanities type stuff and that socialization has done its job well.

Your articles are very well written. They obviously come from the perspective of a woman, but they are well reasoned and seem fair and balanced to me. That's why it surprises me that you would use the "incel" slur. I know it can be used to describe someone who is a misogynist. However, it has a side effect of virgin shaming young men (who are not misogynists). You should be aware of that when you use it. Why not just say misogynist if that's what you mean?
