IEW. Look it up dummy.

There exists a certain group of women who wear their brains on their sleeves.The intellectual elitist women. Let me go ahead and abbreviate that- IEW .

Look closely and you’ll find that the snobbish tag that comes along with being a member isn’t really unjustified or very much off base. If more than one self-assuredly intellectual female is in your presence and someone asks if Guantanamo bay is the new diet doing the rounds, watch as they glance at each other, one brief glance.If you catch it you should know that they’ve all mentally fist bumped or body-fived each other like frat boys.While being extremely subtle this sense of superiority holds much more weight than the superiority petty girls possess for being pretty/rich or whatever it is that makes girls feel superior to one another because contrary to popular belief it isn’t masking insecurities. Its just the tremendous self-worth that accompanies knowing of one’s being more perceptive , observational or knowledgeable than the rest of the lot. Unhealthy ? Perhaps.

Of course they respect and may like everyone but admiration is reserved only for their own kind.I don’t think society is quite ready for them though. They can’t stand a woman who doesn’t always care about the way she looks. Preposterous ! I have a theory that maybe, without significant meditation on the subject,some of them choose not to pay too much attention to they way they dress. It marks them. Of course they are completely unconscious of the effect it has on people, or so they say.I’ll bet they do know that it screams, “ I don’t care if what I’m wearing isn’t good enough for you, I’m so much more smarter than you comparing the two of us would be ludicrous.We don’t even fall under the same category of species.” And it does take a rather evolved male to enjoy their company. Men so disappointingly often like a woman who adopt every idea or thought that escapes their lips.Somebody who they’re sure will find everything they say or do staggeringly brilliant.

Try not to hurl your never-before-opened-textbook the next time you notice their hands sticking up in the air during a class. Or the slight smirk and broadening of shoulders (they can’t help it) when the teacher winks at them in that approving way . You want to get back at them ? This woman is invincible unless you can prove to her in some way that she isn’t as smart as she thought she was….or you weren’t as dumb.IEWs biggest fear, something they wake up at night drenched in sweat because of, is finding out that someone they considered vapid has been hiding a brain in their closet and will one day triumphantly stick it under their noses with those manicured hands. But every time they fear this will happen,every single time, Vapid will say something so utterly inane that all they can do smile . Yes , all is right with the universe.The pyramid of life-forms still has them cradled at the top.

  1. I do agree society still at large is not ready for them but it cant disregard their existence. India all though claims to be evolving but still cant seem to come to terms with a woman who dares to stand out. And then you also have the wannabe types who secretly would want to copy IEW's but utterly fail :P . Anywhoo as i told you before i like your distinct style of writing :) Keep up the good work.
