I see Henry... Written by Patricia P (3/15/2009 3:55 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Courting Ignorance, penned by Robbin

...making jokes about the general preceived ignorance and stupidity of women. He is accustomed to joking with his sister and she assures Catherine to not take him seriously-that he does not mean what he says..He enjoyes his joke but would not be interested in a really ignorant or stupid woman. You can see both brother and sister find Catherine refreshing and engaging.
