I've noticed a lot of male examples on this page. Should they be allowed?

Seems a little questionable, although I would ask in the forums for safety.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!
So, the thing about the Real Life section is that there's six billion people in the world and a considerable fraction of those people are intelligent brunettes. We could spend days listing them all.
For that matter, half the examples aren't even valid. I'm sure Tina Fey and Natalie Portman are intelligent women, but they are not primarily known for their intelligence.
Real Life
- Tina Fey counts.
- Natalie Portman, anyone?
- Danica McKellar, math genius.
- Marilyn vos Savant, listed in the Guinness Book of World Records (at least, at one point) as having the world's highest IQ.
- Due to ethnic traits, Asian and Nerdy has almost total crossover with this.
- Hedy Lamarr
, actress and inventor. Also major-league hottie.
- Ellen Page. There's really no need to explain this one.
- Audrey Hepburn didn't have much in the way of formal schooling, but she was extremely well-read, could speak at least seven languages fluently, and was a talented piano player.
- Elaine May.
- Nino Burjanadze, a political leader in the Republic Of Georgia.
- Emma Watson is enrolled at the Brown University and is rumored to have grades rivaling Hermione Granger's - the icing to the cake is that she considers her education more important than her acting career.
- Mara Wilson

Is it fair to point out that most of the Live-Action TV examples are also examples of Dyeing for Your Art?
