Back in the old times Men(provider) used to go out to hunt,gather food and protect his family. women used to stay at home cleaning,cooking, taking care of  kids and so forth.
But the world changed so fast! Nowaday men don't do what they used to do anymore, women stepped up and most of them became successful some are rich, millionaire some are even billionaire.they don't need men( the provider)for anything even for kids because she can just adopt one! Some men are intimidated by such women but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a threat to them.

Insecurity on the part of men.
They feel threatened.

in my opinion,,both of man or woman have their own role..their own part...
a smart woman would be a privilege for both..vice versa

threatened or not be threatened..it's all only a matter of perception..the matter of point of view..the way you feel something  to feel...

and for me,no matter if it's man or woman..if they are smart,it will be their 'obligation' to share their skill to everyone..

I disagree.
I have no problem at at with women being smart as it tends to make them far better at ironing and cooking.
Saves having to teach them how to use the remote control as well.

Whoever's right for the job, man or woman, doesn't matter. One of the best bosses I have ever had was a woman. Made no difference to me. She was far more exciting to work for than any man I have worked for. We became mates and have continued this friendship for some 15 years now.

any man who's threatened by a woman at work is likely to also be threatened by other smart men as well.

Both men and women are subject to jealousy...Jealous of each other capability.

Why would anyone be threatened by intelligence?  Smart people cure diseases and land on the moon.  Stupid people rob liquor stores and wear pants around their ankles.

women are big a threat for man smart or not .. women have the sense to feel what her man hiding from her

depends on how you mean by threat .
Do you mean causing injury, punishment, danger to men?

Dumb men are a threat to small animals.

smarter women are ok to be around , as friend , work associate or family , but not as GF or wife , see though most men say they want smart woman , what they really mean is that they want some one who is smart but not smarter than them , someone who offer them challenge but not win it , woman feel the same , for some reason , women seek safety , & they feel so when accompanied by superior intellegnce to their self -among other things -
the smarter the guy the smarter he want his girl to be - as long as she doesn't exceed him-
personally i think wat should matter is how the woman intellegence complete the man , like he's good with words & she's good with math or sth

i hoped so too, but it was true though men usually deny that

I definitely know that's not true.

Wikipedia is something, isn't it?

On a personal level I have never felt threatened by smart knowledgeable women.

I have worked alongside women project engineers, project managers and financial controllers. All very good at their job and have learnt from them.

Treat them as equals and there is no problem.
