Is being a genius compatible with being feminine?
'Feminine' has a social quality—soothing conflicts, caring for feelings.
'Genius' requires(?) bucking social—doing things that are 'crazy', violating conventions.

Speaking again on social concepts as they are rather than normatively: There even exists a seductive type of female genius that isn't defeated by her lover intellectually: Imagine her a mysterious intellectual force. This type is perhaps a little darker and Morganic. But hot.
Femininity & masculinity are deceptively difficult to pin. There are many potential axes to place them on that aren’t quite right. I lean toward Jordan Peterson’s conception of femininity as a quite (playfully) combative, highly discerning, highly social organizing force

The mysteriousness of femininity under this model is particularly interesting because it *isn’t* owed to chaos

Mencken likewise associated femininity with discernment and called intelligence (aloofness, questioning, sharpness) a feminine quality
