Women appear serious and are compared to intellectual men crossing their legs above the knee.
The comparison is the observer's judgment of appearance, not evidence about intelligence or motive.

A four-row typed continuation without a heading: 'The women appeared serious / like intellectual men who / cross their legs above / the knee'.
