Trying to get some swamp ass ! Where ' s Fiona ? <| sep |> I think you ' re mixing up ' smart ' and ' highly educated '. I was just putting forth a literal description i . e . I have degrees from prestigious universities . Whether I am smart or not , is for other people to judge as you said . Plus , keep in mind that for an Indian woman , these labels like ' highly educated ' can make a huge difference because we are just trying to navigate our way through a complex and stressful traditional society . So for you , it might be cringeworthy to hear a phrase like that because you think it ' s false vanity or whatever , but for girls like me , it ' s not a compliment so much as a literal factor that could affect our future happiness and treatment by our husbands ' family .
