Drinking heavily seems like the only reasonable course of action when one realizes she earns less than her male counterpart, who is half as educated as she is.
Maybe they feel psychological pain more sharply. Maybe they resent that they're smarter than most men but get less credit. Or maybe raising a family is exhausting and they need a fucking drink!
How the fuck does "clever" equal "highly-educated"? No direct correlation, and the headline made me think the story would be about something quite different. I'm clearly neither, by the way (nor a woman).
I'm going to go with that version.
I am completely unconcerned. Leave me alone, well-meaning man!
