The implicit relationship between men and women is that men 'dominate'. In the literal sense when it comes to sexual intercourse. But then that attitude bleeds over into other interactions as well, and we end up with a system where men don't like to feel that women are smarter or more successful than them. Thus you end up with women "pretending to be dumb" either in an effort to attract men or simply to avoid setting them off.

Causes long-term problems with the increasing levels of educatinal attainment by women as well since as time progresses more and more women succeed in education and the workplace yet still harbour a desire for a more educated, more successful man to settle down with. But of course we know the pool of educated, successful men is shrinking as more men 'give up'.
