女人的弱点(18)

Having shut myself away from the world and immersed myself in academic research for some 20 years, I became the man I meant to be and was received into the mathematical world. As I worked out world problems and published my papers on international top journals, invitations from universities all over China came one after another. I made books, set up my own theory and became a dominant figure in the sphere. Although I was inferior in qualifications, I finally broke a new path and distinguished myself in the ability-stressed math world. Hannah, whom I kept at a distance of a million light years and lost touch for 100 centuries, took initiative to send a congratulatory message to me. She was now a lecturer in an obscure college, her man was a nobody too. I would have ignored her, but I, unwilling to be considered too petty about it, responded her politely and let go of what she had done when she was in her school days. I gradually comprehended that the mental structure of femininity is different from men’s. Women are born to be followers and adherents of social norms. Their nature induces them to value status and money highly and to have a good opinion of men who either are qualified academically or achieved secular success. Scarcely anyone of them has an idea to change the current order. And this explained why most of world-changing scientists and artists are no other than men, while women with high IQs of all times are beyond count. Even if they are intelligent, they only apply their IQs to attain position, money, prestige, life skills, and most of all, a budget husband. Having been convinced by my reason that every woman has a defect, I was eventually reconciled with Hannah, became a friend of her husband and a regular visitor to her family.
