NER, please scan the this excerpt from the Home Page text again; it's unlike you to belittle a topic worthy of tour intellect:
"Personality Disorders are serious mental-health conditions which affect millions of people and are often misunderstood and undiagnosed.
Personality Disorders negatively affect the quality of life not only of the people who suffer from them, but also their family members, spouses, partners, friends, colleagues and acquaintances.
The emphasis of Out of the FOG is on describing Personality Disorders from a Non-Personality-Disordered individual’s point of view. In other words; what is it like to live with a person with NPD or BPD? Where can you find help when you have a parent with a Histrionic or Dependent Personality Disorder? How do you cope when confronted with the prospect of caring for someone with Obsessive-Compulsive or Avoidant Personality Disorder?
The descriptions of Personality Disorders given here are based on both the clinical criteria used for formal diagnosis, and on the experiences of people who have cared for someone who suffers from a Personality Disorder - what it feels like, what works and what doesn’t."

The GF is unworthy of this topic. You should learn to discuss such things in more appropriate arenas. And making light of is not belittling.

You ought to be intelligent enough and possess enough empathy to take precedent into account, not just the letter of the 'law' as laid down by Russ. I will say no more on the matter as I don't feel it's worth wasting any more energy.

A lot of women do this when dealing with men.
With some men, it may be a good idea not to seem smarter than they are.
Women know this from experience.
I wouldn't put it on this list. It's not exactly an unconscious decision to do this most of the time. It's usually done on purpose to avoid pissing off certain men, for example, an insecure supervisor, especially those involved in #80, Self-Aggrandizement.
