Brilliant, astute, genius, quick, witty, smart, bright. These are all synonyms for intelligent.
To quote Rousseau, "She alone can win the father's love for his children and
convince him that they are indeed his own" (Rousseau, Duties of Women, p. 3).
He then followed up with, "...man is dependant on woman through his
desires..." (Rousseau, Duties of Women, p. 7).
Most people think that Rousseau was a cad for his deplorable railing at women
and their "place." In reality, we all have something to say to him. His gender-
role classification system not only confines women to stereotypes, but also
casually assumes that men are incapable of being loving parents, trusting
husbands, or in control of their passions.

Here are some good anologies Mike has made:
AMD vs. Itel Chips
"An AMD chip and Intel chip are very similar. Think of it this way, The
Intel's heat controlling mechanisms are like seatbelts. While you may
not need them every day, the one time you have a fan malfunction, or a 'car
accident' you're gonna want the 'seatbelts.'"
Disarmement of Iraq vs. Korea
"It's like they're two little kids, one's building a gun, and one's got a gun
and is not using it. [Iraq and Korea, respectively.] Do you (A) grab the gun
from the kid that doesn't want to use it and try to take it away not
knowing if you'll be able to, or (B) disarm the one who wants to use it
knowing you can disarm him, then move on to the other? We've seen in the
50's the problem Korea can be, and if we start in Korea we won't be able to
get out before Saddam has nuclear weapons. How many wars do we want to
fight with Nuclear powers, one or two?"
