I'm surrounded by men on the right-end, it's true.

I do know some wealthy not-so-intelligent men and they envy the other men their wives. There's a social stigma against dating anyone who seems like a bimbo, when you're in the upper-middle or lower-upper class.

There's also the problem with sons. Everyone wants at least one smart boy and smart mothers are how you usually acquire one.

We're at the age when the sons are leaving school and starting in the trades or at college and it's obvious who had which mom.

Although, it's probably not any less valuable to have smart daughters. You can share your interests with them more and they can get you smart son-in-laws.

Smart girls are daddy's girls.

that is weird! I thought there is no difference between boys and girls in the West. I mean, for a company owner, the gender of the child does not matter, it is enough that he or she is capable and competent enough.

son and daughter

It matters because of the child's own interests. Girls in the West are emancipated enough to admit that they don't actually enjoy dads' line of work.

What girls often do is start out in dad's specialty, meet a man from that specialty, and then her husband takes over the management and she can switch to part-time or just sit on the board. I see that a lot.

Has nothing to do with competence.

Oh, I see.
