    Intellect is absolutely a worthwhile trait in a breeding partner. It should be sexy to be smart.

    Also there’s a difference between being handicapped and being stupid. Stupid is a choice. More of a choice than even being obese.

        Sure. But there’s a biological component to sexual attraction. Hence the more important part of what I said, intellect is supposed to be sexy.

        Instead, anti-intellectualism is. Head-in-the-sand, willful ignorance and learned helplessness. Probably should be the biggest turn-offs, but here we are.

        You can be stupid and educated, or vice versa. Education isn’t the same as stupidity. Some people went to harvard and are stupider than a lot of people I know who dropped out of uni.

      And having all body parts is also a worthwhile trait in a partner. But that doesn’t mean you get a license to call them gross when they don’t.

      Stupid is most definitely not a just choice.
