"God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met"
About this Quote
Farrah Fawcett is selling a kind of sly power that played perfectly in the post-sexual-revolution, TV-gloss 1970s: women may not be handed the official levers, but they can still run the room. The line starts by borrowing the authority of creation itself, then immediately drifts into a wink. “Stronger but not necessarily more intelligent” flatters male ego just enough to disarm it, then punctures it with a jab that lands because it sounds like lived experience, not theory. The rhythm matters: God, then man, then women. A hierarchy is invoked only to be rerouted.
“Intuition and femininity” are doing double duty. On paper, they’re old-school gender traits, the kind that used to fence women into supportive roles. Fawcett flips them into tools - not innocence, but tactics. “Used properly” is the tell: this isn’t reverence for “feminine mystique,” it’s instruction. The subtext is pragmatic, even a little ruthless: if the culture insists on reading you through sex appeal and softness, you can weaponize that gaze, steer it, and make men underestimate you.
The punchline, “jumbles the brain,” keeps it playful enough to pass as flirtation, which is exactly why it’s sharp. It lets Fawcett claim agency inside a system that often treated actresses as images first and workers second. It’s not a manifesto; it’s survival advice delivered with a smile - and a quiet acknowledgment that the game is rigged, so you learn to win on the edges.
