Here’s a 2-minute video of the last Shah pronouncing on the intelligence of women. He explained that: “there are cases .. some exceptions”. Since he had made his wife his Regent, he was asked by the female interviewer – perhaps one of those rare exceptions – whether he thought she was up to governing the country. He didn’t attempt an answer.
If only he’d been asked about the intelligence of Shahs. I’m quite sure he’d have had an equally valuable point of view. Presumably there are some cases of this too .. some exceptions ..
