1. Don't worry, LW. She can't be that smart if she's still hooking up with you.
2. Of course, she was smart enough to realize that you can't just wait for writing skill to drop in your lap, you have to actually sit down and write, and do so enough to see improvement, and then keep doing it. Anybody can become technically competent with enough practice (and, preferably, feedback), whether or not they have innate talent.
The first isn't very kind. The second isn't very helpful. I mean, it would be for somebody else, but LW doesn't need encouragement, he needs some serious self-reflection. Not-so-veiled misogyny cannot be handled with kid gloves.
