Claire Danes: "When I was a kid, I was one of those really obnoxious 'oooh oooh' girls, with my hand up in the air constantly. I've learned over the years that that's not so attractive, so I've censored that."

Oh good. Thanks Claire. Let's remember that it's not pretty if girls are smart!

Sigh.

Well how else are you going to steal someone else's boyfriend away from them, before inevitably dumping him and marrying someone else? GOD, Ash.

Well, OF COURSE! What's sexier than a dumb girl? 2+2=17... RAWR!

... No ammount of headdesks in the world could do this justice.

I didn't necessarily take it in a bad way. I took it more in the "don't be obnoxious about being smart" way. You can be a genius and be proud without being a keener like Hermione, trying to answer every question.

Just my take on it, though.

I think she was talking about being a show off in class. I certainly found that obnoxious in high school and also censured myself. Instead of answering right away, I would wait a moment to see if another colleague was raising their hands, but if not I would do it. I think not only your colleagues, but also the teachers dislike an "insufferable know-it-all", be it boy or girl.
