[Hardy-l] sentence sense

[Rosemarie Morgan]

I'd always  thought it referred to "motherwit" which is a mix of intuition, 
lore, instinct and some fine, deep intelligence writ along the blood which 
the  male (supposedly) might possess in far lesser degrees but if he does 
it is overridden by reason & logic.

Is that right gals?
Cheers

PS I have never heard "motherwit" belittled or condescended to although it 
may be man's last resort if he has run out of his own "wit."
