Sharon,
I am not only a fan of intelligent women, I’ve dated or married them. The problem is, you are, as a woman, neither educated nor trained, since you are demonstrating one of the most common female cognitive biases which is inverting the true for the preferable.

You do this because you resist adaptation. You resist adaptation because it would force you to rely on reason instead of instinct and intuition. Your instinct and intuition are female.

As far as I know I’m the world’s foremost expert in sex differences in cognition applied to deceptive negotiation. You don’t even know you’re engaged in magical thinking.

The origin of our bias is the instinct to give children time to adapt rather than be ostracized, left behind, or worse.
You just think it’s reason.
Its not.
Mostly it’s the organization of the female brain in favor of in-time empathizing instead of over-time systematizing combined with a healthy dose of oxytocin.
You would notice a significant change in you upon your third or fourth child, and certainly the more traditional fifth or sixth – at which time the resolution of conflicts between your children would force you into the male systemizing frame of reference.

Evolution did its work.
