> "intelligent as I am" [...] "both smart men and dumb men, rich men and poor men all treat women like shit"

You're contradicting yourself. No sane and smart person would affirm such a sweeping and harsh judgment about half the human race, like the second sentence above. Only a crazy or stupid one would (or one blinded by their own prejudices — not a sign of cleverness).

What if I said “Both smart women and dumb women, rich women and poor women all treat men like shit”? Not many would think that I’m really smart and insightful, wouldn’t they? :-D
