Higher education is strongly associated to lower fertility rates. Especially for women, but for men too. So no the argument doesn't ignore the existence of smart women. Smart women (and men) just far less likely to reproduce, statistically speaking.

    It’s pretty clear this entire crude theory is based on a thinking system that has little place for women in active positions.

    And if your immediate reaction to that is annoyance because it seems like an insignificant detail, maybe reflect on that for a moment.
