I didn't say that either. The goal of the soft science liberals is to denigrate
the value of intelligence, by establishing the meme that its no different than
plain emotion or any of the other human abilities that some regard as detrimental
to human advancement (like the need to procreate. That must be a Reproductive
Intelligence!! ;) )

Not at all. I find intelligent women sexy, so since I equate intelligece with
sexy, what you say is not so.
