In the UK there were two separate kinds of High School. Grammar School, for the brainy ones and Secondary Modern for the rest. At 11, all kids were tested (the 11+ Exam) Those who performed well got to go to Grammar School, and on to Uni.
Girls consistently outperformed boys in all the different test criteria, especially math, so much so that the pass mark required to go to a Girls Grammar School, had to be made much much higher, than that for a Boy to go to a Boys Grammar School.
After Uni, these brainy girls were expected to cook clean and spread their legs for their lord and master. And of course, look gorgeous across the dinner table after a day of cleaning and looking after all those kids Himself wanted to make.
From reading American female authors, I get the impression that the average US male likes his girls stacked, purty and DUMB. (the bigger the boobies, the more brain power he needs to process all that visual information) Guys don't date smart lasses in glasses.
As for women in the Borganization: One brother remarked: "can you imagine an elders meeting with premenstrual women? It would be worse than a gaggle of them on Ricki Lake."
