My last girlfriend before my current one had every published version of TLOR, The Hobbit, and the Simarillion. She was even memorising the elven language from the books. Her parents were rich so they spoiled her.

Because women do their homework all nice and tidy and on time but when it comes to innovation or creative thought they don't distinguish themselves. It's this rotelearning mindset that lets them fall victim to hanging on the jewish professor or tumblr blogger's every word and taking it as gospel.
