Women are not smarter lol... Just choose any given profession that requires over 4 years of the highest education -- doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, etc... Then choose any given vicinity -- your town, your country, the entire planet. Then go look at the top 500 individuals who practice this profession, and compare the number of men to the number of women.

Edit: By God, some people here sure are overly-whipped by the world's turn to equal rights. I understand you want to be nice, and I understand that most everyone has experience with both very smart and very stupid people of both sexes. But men are mentally superior, no different than they are physically superior.

What irritating arguments I see posted below -- "women are smarter because they can seduce men." "women are smarter because they can give birth." None of those things make women smarter... This is about who would calculate the first 100 digits of pie faster, not about who would convince who to paint the fence faster... Honestly, I thought this was a serious discussion about who of the sexes, on avarage, has more scientific brain power. And men win that perticular contest.

you can't really make a decision based off that, women are always being discriminated for jobs, I've seen it many times and its disgusting to see how people choose based on sex. As for a smarter gender, I don't think there is really a smarter gender as every gender has their highs and lows in terms of brains.

I would say this: I know some very smart men... I also know some extremely dumb men. I know some very smart women. I also know some extremely dumb women.

There is your answer. Both are smart at times, both are stupid at times. Not one sex is superior to the other, and ANYONE that thinks so is really really stupid.

Women and men have pretty much exactly the same brains. The only things that are different are how they're treated by society, and what they apply those brains to. That being said, I'd like to take this moment to parrot Trance.

you are asking for a flame war here...I suggest you go and do some research before posting a topic like this. However just for the record...

There is NO WAY in telling if men or women in general are more smart and here is why. Men tend to use their right brain more than the left while women tend to use the left brain more than the right. With people who use the right more often, they are better at things like Math, Logic, and Problem Solving. And since men are the Right brain users, you find them in professions like Computer Programming, Coding etc...

In the same light, the left brain users (most women) are better at other tasks such as communication, people skills, expression which often lead them to professions like Counsolers, Artists, Painters etc...

People who can use a BALANCE of their both Right and Left brain are in question the "most smart". This is achieved by more "bridges" (can't remeber the technical term sorry) between the left and the right brain where they can communicate better.

You can "train" your brain to be like what I stated above also especially if you're in you teenage age. You can first understand which side of the brain you use most, and than go and excersise the other side of the brain. Having a balance of brain communication is the key.

There is NO way to say which gender is smarter so I suggest you go and do research next time and not start a flame war.

You are REALL lucky that there are not more girls on this board..

true to a certain extend...Women for example have a thicker cerebellubum (sp?) and frontal cortex then men. Therefore they translate and correspond to emotions a bit better (and some time a bit more extrem :laugh:) while men have other parts of the brain that can function slightly better than the women...

That being said

Those differences can EASILY be overcomed if a individual "train" their brain a certain way. A women can be the best coder in a crowd if she have started logic development and such early on in life.

The cookie cutter syndrom and Nature & Nurture are 2 very excepted Psychology theory where it states that YES, an individual is influenced in behavior biologically, however the enviroment, the way the individual is brough up etc plays a MUCH BIGGER ROLE than the biological parts...

What you've said is true to a certain extend, but don't be closed minded about the fact that female can be as successful in a "male dominant" profession.

@ Mr. Jungles....

That article have a few very critical flaw to it...

First of...it never identified the word "intelligence"

Everyone's definition of intelligence is different, there never WAS and never WILL BE a strick definition of it. Therefore saying men are more "intelligent" is a single blow point that can bring the Dr. whole argument down...

Secondly, they never said which "IQ test" they're using. For all we know, the IQ test could be VERY bias and favoured the Right brain users (men).

"IQ" means nothing....

"EQ" and a Balance of "IQ" is key...

Whos the one that produces sperm, and gives it in? Whos the one that makes you a happy dad?

That was a dumb reply

And about IQ tests. I find them useless. Since the word "intelligence" has no official definition, then who has the right to create a test to show how high your intelligence is? Whoever created the test would be basing it on what they think the definition of the word is.

IQ tests are a joke. I was given one after the 9th grade because I scored in the top ten of the state of Kentucky with the tests they give you at the end of the year. I scored low on it and they found that odd. I took another test last year. Can't remember the exact score but it was 150 something. Which I will be the first to admit is WRONG :laugh:

I agree the thread starter is very lucky more women aren't on Neowin or the poo would have hit the fan

In fact Women are smarter than men; the fact that men dominate the world and different professions is that we (men) historically and still are, physically stronger than women! Men also rule the planet and subject women to subservience!Although our general make up is the same, physiologically there are differences between races (A good example being why black men are better sprinters than Caucasian males, one of the reasons being because of a marked physiological difference in how the patella is shaped in black athletes knees!) and most definitely between men and women!!

This article caused somewhat of a furore: I do not agree with it, there may be valid points to ponder, but can, I feel, be attributed to other factors!

'Men cleverer than women' claim (On BBC)

Academics in the UK claim their research shows that men are more intelligent than women.

A study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on average five points ahead on IQ tests.

Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn claim the difference grows when the highest IQ levels are considered.

Their research was based on IQ tests given to 80,000 people and a further study of 20,000 students.

'Widening gap'

Dr Irwing, a senior lecturer in organisational psychology at Manchester University, told the Today programme on BBC Radio Four the study showed that, up to the age of 14, there was no difference between the IQs of boys and girls.

"But beyond that age and into adulthood there is a difference of five points, which is small but it can have important implications," he said.

"This is against a background of women dramatically overtaking men in educational attainment and making very rapid advances in terms of occupational achievement."

The academics used a test which is said to measure "general cognitive ability" - spatial and verbal ability. As intelligence scores among the study group rose, the academics say they found a widening gap between the sexes. There were twice as many men with IQ scores of 125, for example, a level said to correspond with people getting first-class degrees. At scores of 155, associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman. Nobel prize-winners Dr Irwing told The Times the differences "may go some way to explaining the greater numbers of men achieving distinctions of various kinds, such as chess grandmasters, Fields medallists for mathematics, Nobel prize-winners and the like". The paper will argue that there is evidence that at the same level of IQ, women are able to achieve more than men "possibly because they are more conscientious and better adapted to sustained periods of hard work". His co-author Richard Lynn's previous work on the genetic and environmental influences on intelligence and race has proved controversial. Prof Lynn, an emeritus professor at the University of Ulster, has argued that people of east Asian origin have higher IQs on average than Europeans, or that those from sub-Saharan Africa have lower IQs than African Americans. Earlier this year, the president of Harvard University, Lawrence Summers, sparked controversy when he suggested at a seminar that one reason men outperformed women in maths and science was genetics. Several guests walked out of the conference after hearing the comments.

Dr Summers, who has apologised repeatedly for his remarks, said later that the shortage of senior female academics was partly caused by child-minding duties, which restricted working hours.

Women are smarter. They don't have a penis to contend with. Seriously guys, how many times has this fact clouded your thought process and caused you to make decisions you later regretted?
