Wisdom has nothing to do with gender, race or culture. But deviating from the norms of these categories can be a very socially risky business. I am male but I get into all kinds of trouble because of my anti-authoritarian attitude and faith in reason, and more superficially, my somewhat effeminite manner and appearance.

For the feminists here, this is nothing to do with 'patriarchy'. This man vs woman thing is one of the oldest divide and conquer tactics ever employed. Old vs Young is another one. Gay vs Straight, the list is endless, and meaningless. Individuals might be categorisable but we are as unique as the structure of snowflakes and more than the numbers of even a short 256 bit cryptographic key. This collectivist mentality does nothing but damage people and ultimately hurt everyone.
