D_BestDoc:Probably, that's your definition and concept. Marriage that seeks not to procreate eventualy leads to an unhappy home. Why must one swallow everything hook, line and sinker from the suppose westerners. If you detest having kids, then avoid intimacy. Something psychological must be very wrong with you ppl. First, it was the feminist rubbish, and now this gibberish. Pls, we have important things to worry about in Africa to be bothered with some imported ideology of some confused women. Intelligence demands that a woman managed her family and career effectively. |

dasparrow: You couldn't be more spot on! This lazy thought process where everything that is different is from hell or should be burnt, killed or insulted is so frustrating. No curiosity to understand why the difference even exists! Some one on here even suggested that people should only get married if they intend to have kids since the fellow has concluded that marriage should only exist for the purposes of procreation. 3 Likes |

biolabee: I used examples of truly intelligent women who have shaped the world and broke barriers not celebs like Mirren and mendes like the article postulated Yeah each to his own I agree.And as I said I also agree that intelligent women who shaped the world had kids.Children are wonderful (I have kids and I dont think I am dumb heck I know I am not dumb). Just saying lets not narrow the argument to; Intelligent Women Dont Want Kids.Of course we know most intelligent women have kids.But it is smart to recognise that you might make a selfish, uncaring mother and decide to spare the unborn child your non-chalance.I know people who see their kids as an inconvenience (not necessarily for intelligent reasons though).We need to see choosing to have kids as an important life changing decision and not something that comes as part of getting married or cos our parents want grandchildren. Some people want just 1 kid not necessarily because of finances alone but cos they think thats the no of the kids they can conveniently nuture and love to the best of their ability. .Some women can nuture 20 kids conveniently.But Naija society except they feel she is TTC will hound someone with even one child to have more. My mum keeps saying its over her dead body that I deliberately chose to have just jack and jill (her words). |

PrettySpicey: Ok now. Since in dire need of a child, I guess its safe to conclude that I'm not really intelligent. come on people..... all you women boasting about how extremely intelligent you are and how the study must be wrong because you don't feel that way about kids should stop it this research does not mean that everyone with a high IQ does not want children. the research only came up with a generalized conclusion but there are many exceptions to the rule. 2 Likes |

I don't get it,does it mean that these so called intelligent women regard children as burden or what,cos from what i know, intelligence means ability to think or learn facts and skill....so if they think that they don't have the ability to train children (which require skills and wisdom) and they are not willing to learn,then they are not as intelligent as they think they are. 2 Likes |
Re: Are Intelligent Women Less Likely To Want Children? by biolabee(m): 5:10pm On Aug 06, 2013 |
You are right.. From stats..in western economies,it costs 150k usd to raise a child to adulthood In naija here, it now costs 150k per term for creche.. Corona is now more expensive than some private unis It's really costly to raise kids and you have to strategic so you can meet up Don't forget that you also have to set something aside as nest egg E no easy choi Nice one damiso: |

Its not easy to be successful and suckling a child every year. This is why it takes time for career women to have kids and when they do, they cant have too much or else they may have to choose one or the other. These kinds of women are addicted to work and success. Wahala of equal rights. These men dont pity women o. They are not smiling. 1 Like |

It makes sense that the more intelligent a woman is, the less maternal she will be as bringing up a child impedes a woman's ability to fulfill her intellectual potential. In Nigeria, this point is somewhat moot, as women do not have as much freedom to decide for themselves. 3 Likes |
