Men may have larger brains, but it depends on what we use that excess capacity for; most likely visual-spatial analysis. For a simple example, a dog's brain is smaller than a human's, but large percentage of the dog's brain is dedicated to smell. Thus, an animal with a smaller brain can detect and discriminate scent molecules a human couldn't hope to discern.
OF COURSE you are smarter honey. I just didn't know that swiping that liddle widdle bit of plastic so many times would run up such a biggie wiggie bill. Can you fix it, teddy bear?
MAN SMART, WOMAN SMARTER (Kuhn)
Let us put man and woman together
See which one is smarter
Some say men, but I say no
Women got the men like a puppet show
Chorus:
It ain't me, it's the people that say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, it's the women today
They're smarter than the men in every way
That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter
A little boy sat down and cried
A old man passed and asked him why
He said "I can't do what the big boys do"
The old man sat down and he cried too
(Repeat chorus)
It takes more intelligence to be a hunter of wild game than a gatherer of berries.
Men of genius often have a single-minded commitment to their vocations, visions and ideas, and the willingness to defend them against all critics and attackers.
Women, on the other hand, tend to prefer maintaining and nurturing relationships, and favour discussing and soothing feeling instead of the cut and thrust of vigorous debate.
This isn't to say that there are no women who have the hallmarks of genius, just that there are far fewer of them than men.
I coulda told the ex, but I already knew she wouldn't believe it, and it would be a wasted, frustrating effort on my part.
Isn't this just half of the old "More geniuses, more idiots" among men hypothethis?
If men are smarter than women, why do women possess most of the wealth?
LIES!!! That's what the cats want you to think!
I have said too much...
The truth is that intelligence comes in different flavors. Men are better at things that require concentration on a single task but a women will do better at multitasking. When you want to find something in the house do you ask the man or the woman? When you what the car fixed who do you ask?
It always amazed me that we could see obvious physical differences between the sexes, so much so that we accept without question having separate sports leagues even for the best of the athletes because of the unfairness of direct competition.
(This in fact is true even for non-physical sports like billiards and bowling).
But somehow we were to believe that there couldn't be any real difference in intelligence between sexes, or races, or different populations.
Of course, the IQ tests could be biased toward the type of things that men are more adapted to.
This is an iteresting article.It is good to read something good about men in the news.We live in an anti-man world.All of the sitcoms and commercials try to make men look like buffoons and idiots.I am a woman and I do hate how they make men look. Since the introduction of contraception into society as an accepted thing, it has allowed men to use women and women in turn have enabled men to not be able to commit to them bec. there is no reason.A man who cannot make a committment and carry it out looks wimpy and TV and movies portray men this way .I resent it and am here to say that there are men, real menwho do not eat quiche and are smart, committed, faithful to their wives and children and I am glad to hear someone say something good about men in general.
