Oh I would never claim to be smarter than any woman. But after a divorce, I came out with the house, the autos, the dogs and minus a $5000.00 check...I did pretty good. My ex hated her lesbian feminazi attorney and actually felt sorry for me. We agreed mutually!

[mware]

Actually they aren't we just let them think they are.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I don't know but for a man to come right out and say it doesn't seem very smart. LOL!

[IronJack]

men have larger brains than women

Which would be significant if men thought with their brains ...

[firebrand]

I don't think any difference has been proved, and this study certainly doesn't do it. But intelligence is very much a result of expectations, and just take a look at what is expected of women as opposed to what is expected of men. The soft bigotry of the world is really what makes apparent dummies of us.

[chilepepper]

actually, there is a fudge factor to all of this: men who would actually *claim* that they are smarter than women take a 25 point penalty, proving that they are in fact *not* smarter.

if any man were actually, in fact smarter than a woman, evolutionary pressure has tought him to keep his mouth firmly shut about it...

_{(and yes dear, if you are reading this I *did* take the garbage out and feed the dogs, and no, I do *not* think you look fat in that black dress you just bought)}

[Sofa King]

Actually, we're just letting you think that.

It means he's retiring (forced retirement) early and his wife will be the bread winner.

[lol... you know they're gonna have a field day with this...]

I generally post only articles that are going to get a lot of hits, and some of the moderators are too dim to understand where their paycheck comes from. OF COURSE this article relates to politics. I'm not going to bother to explain it.

[redhead]

But how do they square this with the fact that the smartest person in the country is a woman, Marilyn Vos Savant(a nom de plume?)?

The better one:

I'm smarter than my wife and it is easy to prove. I married her, and she was stupid enough to marry me.

The g-factor uses only the tough questions in the test. "If I tell you the last four digits of my telephone number and ask you to repeat them back to me, that's a low g-loaded memory test," Rushton explained. "But if I then ask you to repeat them back to me in the reverse order, that suddenly requires a tremendous amount more cognitive processing. It is a very high loaded g-item.”

So, if you are dyslexic, you are smarter than the average bear?

{tears falling profusely}

NO! I', not crying because of what you said..It's what you DID NOT SAY....B@$tard!

Actually, we're just letting you think that.

"With small differences, that becomes a significant factor."

I think that any difference here is eliminated by the hormonal impulses of young men during the institutional education years.

From what I remember from high school and the first few years of college, the girls studied the books and the boys studied the girls...

[albee]

Was there ever any doubt?

[Kimmers]

Yesterday scientists revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became emotional, and couldn't drive.

No further testing is planned.
