thing I hate: people pointing out a woman’s high IQ as a way to make a point about women’s empowerment or something
“people keep treating this woman like she’s less than human and talking down to her! But actually her imaginary ‘smartness number’ is fairly high so she is in fact worthy of respect.”
Or more often:
“she scored really well on this arbitrary pattern test rooted in eugenics and ableism, so she’s better than you and you can’t criticise her”
