@Nusrat5791 Having worked with minority high school students, seeing where they apply their often ample intelligence (e.g. sports statistics, television shows, celebrity facts, or not at all), I suspect that lots of young men and women are as smart as this woman, it's just a matter of them feeling the visceral power of their own intellect, then getting comfortable exercising it and training it around their peers. We've let consumerism and spectatorship overgrow our culture, hence our trouble.

Any woman who ever claims that men don't appreciate intelligent women just needs to wade through the river of drool in the comments on this video. Contrary to popular belief, men don't dislike or feel threatened by intelligent women--not even by women who are self-evidently more intelligent than us.

Bring it on, Brainy Babes--we'll just love you all the more for it.

I WANNA HAVE HER BABIES.

I'm sure bioscience can make it possible in the near future too.

@DonDahab Its wasnt a scientific consensus . It was a general layman belief. No scientific experimentation had been done on the matter to deem it a scientific consensus.

[DonDahab]

lets not give up everything to science, remember it was only 500 or so years ago that the scientific concensus was...the earth was flat...

@firstnamenavarre

Good point. Maybe you could translate this video to Ebonics.

Sanctimonious comments like this make me want to barf. I would much rather fantasize about a sexy, brainy woman like Lisa Randall than some bimbo like Kim Kardashian. Save your white knight crap for someone who cares.

@TheCoffeeNut711 grow up. you wont get girls with that mindset

[TheCoffeeNut711]

@akadaka69 yeah but did you see the rack on her.

[akadaka69]

As a true man, I find it absolutely disgusting that an attractive, intelligent women with multiple degrees and a mind of gold, has to be pitifully reduced to a sexual object, and sexualised. The men who write these sexist comments and thumbs up 'pilf' have small brains and small penis' and can not hold a candle to the multitude of educated driven women. Men need to grow the fuck up and stop the childish sexism its embarrassing beyond words and counter productive to societies progression.

That's the kind of girl you actually have something to talk about after making love.
