It Looks Utterly Ugly

Men being intimidated by a strong, knowledgeable woman is something I’ve experienced recently and it is astonishingly easy to recognise.

You can see the discomfort. You can almost watch the insecurity surface in the spontaneous dismissal of everything she says; not because her words lack merit, but because acknowledging them would mean acknowledging her competence.

Some men only seem comfortable with women who know how to massage their egos, agree with them, admire them, and never challenge their sense of superiority.

The ego is so fragile, the absence of spine so apparent, and the insecurity so poorly disguised that, frankly, it looks utterly ugly.
