I find that women in general are less intellectual *because they are more interested in soaps and gossips than in news and politics.I think this is a bit of a sweeping generalization. There are plenty of non-intellectual men, too, but they are interested in blowing things up, drinking beer, and watching sports, rather than soaps and gossip (if you want to continue with the sweeping generalizations!). It only takes one counter-example to disprove a theorem, right
? Here you are:
(1) My
brother won the prize at his high school graduation for being the biggest gossip in a class of 300.
(2) His favourite TV show in high school was Days of Our Lives (a soap opera)
(3) He got an Honours degree in Economics and is now doing his Master's.
(4) If you ever talk to him you'd realize he's a very intellectual type (he's not just doing his Masters because of delusions of grandeur)
So I don't think gossip and intellectualism are mutually exclusive, nor is gossip just the domain of women.
