This is exactly what I'm talking about. In my screenwriting class my grad student teacher couldn't read into my fucking OBVIOUS symbolism and I had to send her an explaination of every symbol. It was absurd. And the stupid baristas in my class didn't listen to anything about formatting or story structure. One chick wrote about a magical mirror world much like Oblivion Shivering Isles and rather than SHOW WITH ACTION LINES what the world was like she had a character EXPLAIN IT IN DIALOG FOR TWO PAGES. Fucking preposterous.

A big problem (at least on the academic level) is that theory (literary, film, etc) is no longer a requirement or taught in some settings. Students need a foundation to build upon/expand off of.

That's correct. While Curie was playing around with glowing objects, figuring out the elements that mad eup them were unstable and that they sometimes ejects alpha, beta and gamma particles the men were discovering the most fundamental levels reality.

Nah no worries, but if I am being completely honest I think Curie was very much important and just degrading her to "playing around with glowing objects" is degrading and very much plays down her accomplishments just because she is a woman.

I mean, earning a nobel price (which, to be fair, if I recall correctly when it comes to her physics nobel price was shared with her husband) would pretty much qualify you as being one of the best. But that's just like, my opinion man.

The device she used to figure out radioactiveness came from her husband and his brother, she did remarkably little and proposed using radioactive materials to heal you as they hurt tumors before they hurt healthy skin cells. I'm not saying she did nothing but this random asshat 23 "atheism and science and everyone is equal" propaganda about Marie curie proving the sexes are equal is masturbatory and terribly wrong. She got affirmative actions the whole way through and if she hadn't married up she'd be a nobody

>How do intellectual bf

This is a difficult one. This is going to sound shitty to say, but for most men who have their heads screwed on straight (not necessarily positively correlated with being an intellectual mind you) having a woman who is abnormally intelligent, especially more intelligent than them, is more of a liability than an asset. I've often wished my fiancee would read or really think about the world beyond her very sort of instinctual way of viewing things, but then I remember that her way works and generally doesn't steer her into the suicidal beliefs many young women have today as a result of over-education and oversocialization into the current system.

The only intellectual men worth their weight are ones who are going to be fundamentally at odds with many of the ways the current world works, and this will likely not bring you an easy life even if you find them.

It's not really an issue if the two people aren't too emotionally dependent on one another. My parents had a great marriage and frequently argued about all kinds of shit way above my intellectual pay grade despite both of them being prone to social alienation and one of them depression. People expect way too much out of romantic relationships when the healthiest ones tend to be those where the two people can take care of themselves for the most part. Looking for an "intellectual bf" is the wrong way to go about it if you ask me. Better to just enjoy smart shit as usual and if someone comes along you get along with and feel like porking long-term just hang out together. My wife is probably smarter than I am and I'm a fucking psycho but we were both able to take care of ourselves before we got together so everything works out fine. Most important thing is that you can just take it easy with each other.
