*Oh* Mr. Wilde.

""My dear boy, no woman is a genius. Women are a decorative sex. They never have
anything to say, but they say it charmingly. Women represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals."
"

He also defined emo.

The only artists I have ever known who are personally delightful are bad artists. Good artists exist simply in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are. A great poet, a really great poet, is the most unpoetical of all creatures. But inferior poets are absolutely fascinating. The worse their rhymes are, the more picturesque they look. The mere fact of having published a book of second-rate sonnets makes a man quite irresistible. He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize."

Actually, my thoughts on this. The thing about women, see, is that we ARE decorative. But we can be geniuses inside and still let the men think they're winning over. Now, the male half of our species could never possibly don a pretence of decorativeness, and so they lose.
