Most men and women lack good discernment, but it is more prevalent in men than women, so if it is present in say, 5% of men, then it would be present in approximately 1% of women. We thus can rightfully conclude that most men are fools just as we can conclude that most women are fools, whilst simultaneously recognising that amongst the wise, men vastly outnumber women. If you are approaching a random person, you should near categorically expect a fool, but if you are approaching a mentor, sage or esteemed elder, you should almost always expect a man. Very wise women, that is, the intellectual feminine - Sophia - are very rare. Wisdom then is even more dazzling in women than it is in men, precisely because it is rarer, more novel, and dare I say, harder earned in them. For stoicism, rationality, interoceptive awareness, true intuition, executive override in self-restraint, proper taste discrimination, stress tolerance, eccentricity tolerance and high truth preference to win out over a highly sentimental disgust sensitive aesthetic preference is for an extraordinarily rare constellation of traits to triumph over mediocrity. Most women will religiously enthrone their emotions, or rarer still, but more egregiously: deauthorise the validity of their emotions to override their conscience. Wisdom then is not merely the absence of bad traits, but the refusal to misuse your gifts, for discernment is wisdom in motion!
