Adelle Waldman Quotes
He Thought Women Were Every Bit As Intelligent As Men, Every Bit As Capable Of Figuring Out How Long It Would Take For Train A To Crash Into Train B If The Two Were Moving Toward Each Other At An Average Speed Of C. They Were As Capable Of Rational Thought; They Just Didn't Appear To Be As Interested In It. They Were Happy To Apply Rational Argument To Defend What They Already Believed But Unlikely To Be Swayed By It, Not If It Conflicted With Inclination Or, Worse, Intuition, Not If It Undercut A Cherished Opinion Or Nettled Their Self-esteem. So Many Times, When Nate Had Been Arguing With A Woman, A Point Was Reached When It Became Clear That No Argument Would Alter Her Thinking. Her Position Was One She "felt" To Be True; It Was, As A Result, Impermeable.
