The Boyfriend

I never dated a smart man until my current boyfriend. They were always jealous of/threatened by/dismissive of me as an intellectual being, and I couldn’t have nerdy conversations with them. Now that I am with someone who is legitimately just as intelligent as me, reads all the time and is interested in things that most people aren’t, I realize that the problem isn’t just the intelligence thing - it’s men. No matter what, men find women inferior, especially if they’re fucking them. It’s sad to think that this is the best relationship I’ve ever been in and I still don’t feel like I’m considered an equal. I don’t see it being any different with other men - even the ones that consider themselves feminists, like my boyfriend. In the end, they’re all the same to some extent.
