So often I hear men describe themselves as smart. I can't remember the last time a woman called herself intelligent without adding a little joke after to let you know that she's simply kidding or an exception or a please don't be threatened. No. Be threatened! I'm fucking intelligent and I convey that confidently in my writing!! Even now I wanted to delete and reword that sentence!! Even now someone reading this is cringing at a woman celebrating her wits, is it you? Fuck that! I know my worth and I don't want to downplay it.
