How To Deal With Macho Types

Hello.
One of my Youtube friends and I were messaging yesterday, and she was talking about the way some men treat some women as though they were stupid. I told her some men treat all women as though they were stupid, and that I had run into that a great deal throughout my lifetime. I also pointed out to her that if we women try to prove them wrong, these men then resort to swearing and tell us to shut up. I have learned to take this kind of macho behavior in my stride. I simply keep telling myself "You are smarter than this guy, and not just because you have the good sense to not behave the way he is doing. And, besides, he wouldn't be so upset, unless he knew that you were smarter than he." This approach works very well for me, because then I can just smile, shake my head and walk away; proud to be an intelligent woman. Score one for all intelligent women, everywhere!
