Are girls really "smarter" than boys?

[TrustCash]

There's this infographic that I came across. It's kind of misleading because it doesn't take into consideration other factors at play. What do YOU think?

I'm sure women's self esteem is the entire reason for gender inequality in the workplace

Men don't have the choice to stay at home and be a supported baby factory.

That depends on the socialist country they live in. In some of them, aside from actually popping the kid out and breastfeeding, the dads can do pretty much everything a woman can, stay at home and raise their kids.

Women may indeed be smarter at age 7. Women develop quicker than men. There is also a period where women are a lot of times taller than men. But men end up about 6 inches taller than women on average. Do men also end up smarter than women? Maybe. The amount of male geniuses vs. female geniuses would tend to point to that. There are two other factors holding them back. Women have children and therefore are less likely to choose career paths that are heavily demanding like math and science where time off may be heavily detrimental. Also women learn that they can simply mooch off men using their looks and thus don't develop their intellectual capabilities.

Girls arnt smarter then boys there stupid and stuff.

Time to come down from your tree-house and indoors for your tea.

[klinton]

yes they are smarter in extorting money from men

Humans have intelligence in addition to instincts, not instead of instincts. Females have huge burdens imposed on them by nature, or blessed onto them by God or what have you. It's no wonder things change around puberty ages and beyond.

[RebelR]

"When Asked to indicate their gender on a test, Women scored 20% lower"

Does that mean that those 20% thought they were boys? That's just called Gender Confusion!

[CaptainHowdy]

Girls are intelligent, not wise ...

[brassmonkey]

their best works are in the kitchen and on their knees

[Best-In-BC]

Just like race, doesnt matter

[Spunky]

They have the magic pussy and know how to manipulate men to their advantage..yes they are smarter

Up to a certan point, yes.

But when we get to legendary world-changing genius level, it's a sausage fest. The ONLY exception ever is Gertrude B. Elion, and I suspect she may have been packing meat. RIP.

Well there is a reason that there is a male and a female chess league :D

i'm inferior, does it mean i need to work in the goulag ?

Women have fewer genes than men.
The million dollar question is whether those genes that are unique to men encode for intelligence or stupidity...

corn has far more genes than either men or women, does that make corn smarter than us. ;)

[ilnjscb]

Women do not have higher IQs than men at the higher end

Sex Differences in IQ

Sorry, men ARE more brainy than women

That is not to say that women aren't intelligent, and better in some ways, but this shit of "they are superior in every way" is just as bad as saying men are. Both are ignorant and inaccurate. Both genders have strengths and weaknesses.

Corn doesn't have the same genes as men or women, so that isn't a valid comparison.

Men have the exact same genes as women but have the advantage/disadvantage* of having 86 more.

[borked]

as an interesting add on, did you know that males are genetically dominant over females?

[Rochard]

Are girls smarter than boys? Gee, I don't see a bunch of female pornographers molesting men and making money off of it.

[2012]

it's possible.

If girls are smarter, then why are most things invented, designed and built by men? just sayin...

[bigluv]

World is run by men. QED.

Anyone who has ever been in an office environment where there are too many women can attest
to the stupidity quotient going through the roof with petty bickering and other hen house behaviour.
For some reason women can take the most unimportant jobs (filing for example) and make wars out of it.

I bet you don't see that kind of bullshit in the bullpen at the garbage pickup guys locker room.

[frostyimpressions]

Men tend to think on a more logical level while women tend to think on a more emotional level, so it doesn't surprise me that women typically specialize in biological life sciences. Maybe this is more of a gender role influence, not necessarily cut and dry, one is smarter than the other.

This also reminds me of discussions I've had with my friends before. It's really rare that you meet a woman who is really funny. The only really funny female comedians I know are lesbians.

Im going to have to think about this one but at first glance it seems you might be on to something here.

it so weird you say that. I do medical animation, and whenever I have a meeting with science writers, they're always women. Always, with no exceptions. I haven't seen a guy doing the job yet.

[Chosen]

Yes they are

[adultsitecms]

The study is just fucking biased. Most women prefer to be in socially oriented careers than go to jobs where they would be mostly likely be isolated if not alienated from other people.

[Fletch XXX]

simple. humans were never made for jobs.

women begin to understand their desire to have a child and the importance of life on the planet and rather pursue that than sit at a job they hate.

jobs and careers are irrelevant and have nothing to do with nature and actually hold us back from progression and keep humans enslaved.

women break those chains easier than working man who usually want that jetski or new truck more than having a family.

family is everything you can take all the clicks and money away.

[TheLegacy]

No one can say women and men are the same - they aren't. BUT saying that doesn't mean any one is better than the other as each sex provides ingredients to become great. A world full of women with no men will survive as much as a men without women. Each one is doomed to fail.

So show all the figures you want - both are as important as buying a $150,000 car but it won't run because it needs a $10 set of keys and $80 in the gas tank.

I saw a quote recently from some police chief in my country regarding women cops that is somewhat related here...
He said that women make GREAT cops - for about 3 years, then they get pregnant and leave. If they come back, they aren't as 'vicious' as they were before.

hehe see my post above, pretty much nails it. and exactly.

No, but female talent makes a whole lot more than male talent.

Point. hah

[cherrylula]

We have to be. Men are physically stronger than females and can pretty much kick our ass. But we learn, and do our thing.

[Dirty Dane]

Some are.

[MarkDeus]

The big problem I have with this study, is that they define intelligence with academic achievements and principles.

I know people that have PHd's and they aren't capable of any concrete reasoning. hoarding a massive amount on information and spewing it out at the right time is not something I would refer to as "intelligence"

[Elli]

Which country/culture were these stats taken from? How does it compare to previous generations? Women have obviously come a long way towards workplace equality. My own mother couldn't even get her mortgage without dad cosigning it (AFTER they were divorced) and she made more money than him. And yes, if you tell a little girl OR a little boy that "that's a pink/blue job" then that affects how they perceive themselves in relation to that task. Nothing really groundbreaking in this infographic.

[AngelAfterlife]

Men imagined, invented, planned, built, and maintain the world in which a woman is safe from harm and free to enjoy her life. Women do not have and should not have any responsibility, authority, or opinion. They should simply worship and thank us as the merciful gods we are. We are men and our gift to you is the joy of a carefree life, you are welcome.

[brentbacardi]

Why women get paid less then men in the workplace:

Woman
- Works 40 hours a week
- Will not work on weekends ever
- Takes a year or so off for baby
- Is sensitive and makes it so you cant make boob jokes anymore in office

Man
- Works 50 hours a week
- Will work on weekends for big projects
- Doesnt take year off for baby
- Laughs at your boob jokes in the office

Who would you give a higher salary to for the EXACT same job position assuming they do the EXACT same quality of work?

This is just another example of women FEELING they are unequal when really they tend to prioritize family time/having a baby etc. while men generally place less of a priority on those things. If a woman worked 50 hours a week and came in on weekends when necessary and lets say already had her kids when hired and didn't leave work early and stuff to take care of them all the time and boob jokes aside, she should get paid the same as the man in this, and in most cases she would. Therefore its equal.
