Feminine mind

1st paragraph graff

The general argument made by H.L.Mencken In his work, "The feminine mind," is that women are smarter and more aware than men. More specifically, Mencken argues that, women posses a higher intelligece and therefore regard men wih pity because of their brutish and arogant ways. He writes, "Women, in truth, are not only intelligent; they have almost a monopoly of certain of the subtler and more utile forms of intelligence." in this passage, Mencken is suggesting that Women are not only more intelligent than men, but contain a more useful forms of intelligence as well, like Gardner theories on multiple intelligences. In conclusion, Mencken's belief is that women are superior to men intelligentally because male arrogance gets in the way.
