Whatever new research which shows that men are smarter than women ,we should take it with a grain of salt.Those I.Q test, designed by men are gender biased and cannot accurately decide whether men are smarter and more intelligent than women. It is skewed towards those men .
Though men and women grow up side by side, yet women face many discrimination's and unfair practices in the patriarchal society. Bearing this in mind, the different stereotype gender roles were assigned to each sex.
When she grows out of her teens ,she began to have maternal thoughts of children and emotional attachment to partners. Women had to develop housekeeping or social responsibilities,while the men were freed from this activities.
The preoccupations with her social responsibilities of being a female caused her to divert her limited resources from focusing on any solitary project in any given special field. That is why we see most of those men excel in certain specialized fields .
It is quite a funny thing that most of those researches are carried out by the men and not by women . Seldom do we find researches that are done by women.
Are the men under threat and must do research often to prove that they are smarter than women?
Maybe, the women already knew the answer a long time ago or could not be bothered with that fact.
Let them believe that they are smarter.
Men are more logical , rational and saner than women because they are simple and uncomplicated like women. . Many men can attest to that. Women do not use logic but more of their intuitions when they try to solve problems. Blame it on their hormones or PMS....LOL!
Men may have higher I.Q's than women but women know that they can control the men by twinning them around her little fingers. Having higher I'Q does not mean that one is smarter or cleverer.
Look at the present enrollments in the higher institutions of learning . There is almost 60% to 70% of the under graduates are females in many parts of the world. This growing trend can be disturbing as they would be an imbalance
The females are excelling in the same fields as the men and are even better than the males by being the top of the class. Given the same conditions , the female intelligence is on par with the male or sometimes better.
Men and women are different and we may have different skills and some similar skills which can complement each other.
What is intelligence anyway?
