There is a general assumption that men are intelligent
unless otherwise stated
whereas, with women, if a woman’s intelligence shows
She is deemed “an intelligent woman.”

Ahhh, an ugly truth! I love it!
Thank you, thank you thank you! The other day a new male friend said to me, “You’re smart” and I responded with a confused look and a possibly sarcastic sounding, “Yeah.” I didn’t meant to sound sarcastic, I just didn’t understand why he felt the need to tell me as if it wasn’t assumed.’
Perhaps it was merely a compliment.
