I Want to Learn.......how to be a Feminist Intellectual and Increase IQ

Any good feminist knows that education is important, because without education, you are just sprouting out theories without knowing them truly. The most important thing is to know how to hold a conversation, how to stay calm during an argument, and know if your opponent is lying or not and what types of lies they are. Also you have to know critical thinking, separating truth from fiction, thinking faster. articulating etc. Other related things are delayed gratification, etc. I will post an article on this in the second part.

Some activities you can do for your brain to become like this are:

  • Chess
  • Rubix Cube
  • Lumosity (also a free app)...increases memory, faster thinking, etc.
Read authors such as


Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Kant, Pope, Locke, Oscar Wilde, and feminist historical books such as The Feminist Mystique, The Second Sex, etc. Authors such as Gloria Steinem and Simone de Beauvoir. 

Some of these can also be psychology/neuroscience books which will help you learn how YOU work and how others work. Examples of these are

The Marshmallow Test, etc. 

Also you can see intellectual and thought provoking speeches on TED TALKS. 

Learn about all the theories you can...this is a recommended website:

rhetoric/fallacies/strawman/gaslighting (https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/)

Links to read later

I haven't posted in a while, been busy with stuff.
Here are some links to read meanwhile on Youth Ki Awaaz. YKA is a really good website for Indian issues, made by young Indian youth. It goes to show how much our society is changing, because we wouldn't have had this kind of exposure and fervor for social issues even 5 years ago. Please check out not just these links but other ones. They have personal stories too, which is great at showing an unfiltered India.
