on another note, some women think that because they disagree with a man, or act obnoxious or "opinionated" that makes them intelligent, it doesn't.
Everyone has an opinion, that means nothing.
Intelligence, is about being able to acquire information, processes it and reach the CORRECT conclusions, and I don't mean agreeable opinions either.

I don't see intelligence as being right all the time. To me what is attractive in a person and what I interpret as intelligent is a curiosity about the world that delves below the surface of things. And believe me, there are a lot of people out there who have no interest in broadening their horizons or questioning what is in front of their face. Much of the time being "correct" is irrelevant. "Correct" most often is a conclusion reserved for the more simple questions in life. Complex issues are debatable, which is why we are all here, which is why I would by nature classify anyone who seeks out a place like this to harbor some measure of intelligence.
Unless of course we are talking about Tashah, possessor of one of the super-brains.
And as far as being obnoxious with one's "opinions", I don't see that as a gender specific trait, nor does it necessarily denote a lack of intelligence. I have never known anyone who desired to disagree with someone just to disagree, although I have been accused of that before - by men who I could easily turn the tables on and say that they were disagreeing with me just to disagree - if I were so inclined.
