Gingers don't count alright but when you look at Noble prizes and great inventions and discoveries Men do far better.

Men of course.

Exactly,they were what we call symphaty As.

In fairness, we women have to do the same work as men and still get dinner ready, give us a break.

Men are generally smarter. Although the girls do generally work a lot harder in school, theres no denying that.

If you actually want an actual answer, a good bit of evidence shows that women tend to bunch together intelligence wise, whereas men tend to either excel or fail.

Thats why most genius's have been men, men tend to be outliers.

When you say "im neutral" does that mean "I'm an hermaphrodite" ?

pffft....men of course.

How many women do you know who can multi-task.

And many, many other geniuses like the abote, were by and large not women.

In fairness though, women were excluded from formal education for a huge amount of human history. Aren't there more women than men going into law and medicine and stuff now?

Another point is that, in my opinion, women may not appear smart for the same reason they don't appear funny. We don't need to be, we have tits. Girls do tend to play dumb around lads as well, the simpering sex kitten is a lot more appealing (ie less threatening to the fragile male ego) than the smart chick. Smarts don't get you a ride if you're a wimmin.

Can you prove that they weren't women?

Also Nikola is a girl's name

The only thing this thread will prove is that there's more men on boards then women!

Incidentally many famous female authors had to publish under male names to even get published. This was true for the Bronte sisters for example, who all published under the male names Currer, Ellis and Acton until they were well established.

Nelle Lee was told to use her middle name Harper when she wrote To kill a mockingbird, so people wouldn't know she was a woman.

Even in the present day, JK Rowling wanted to publish under her name Joanne Rowling, but her publishers told her she had to publish under a gender neutral name as boys 'wouldn't buy wizard books written by a woman'.

A quick internet search would suggest that disposable nappies, an alteration to the ironing board, and a couple of things to do with nappies number among our contributions to the world. Oh lordy.

However, genius doesn't automatically mean "inventor".

Brainy doesn't automatically mean "genius". As was pointed out, men may have the corner on genius, but women may have the corner on basic cop on type intelligence.

Average intelligence is roughly the same for both, with higher standard deviation for men AFAIK.

So they're roughly the same, most geniuses are men, but so are most retards.

EDIT: Oh yeah there's the usual argument about whatever methods they used to measure intelligence being somehow biased in this, by both sides. But no-one cares about these whiners.

Men and women have different strengths and weaknesses. Men are generally better at formal logic and women have in general better memory. Men have better abstract thought, but women are better a multi-tasking. It's due to the role each sex fulfilled during our evolution. Men were the hunter gatherers and women were the home makers and child raisers. Men concentrated on a single task, catching and gathering food. Women dealt with many different tasks, from preparing food to maintaining shelter and looking after children.

The fact a male invented Ann Summers proves women are smarter. He invented a company making sex toys easily accessible to women and rendered men unnecessary

Life rafts
Medical syringe

Ridiculous and unecessary post really!!

We are all human beings ...we have our differences.Plus male /female is not as clearcut as it used to be.

Imoh ...
Women are brighter than men in some things and vice-versa but I percieve men to be generally a bit brainer...

but saying that... only nil of them would not have been born of a woman...simple and case closed.

Studies have shown that, on average, men have an IQ that is 4 points higher than women.

(I can post a source if requested).

Women tend to do better in school because they mature faster than boys. However, boys catch up later in life and that is why they outperform girls in the workplace.

4 points in IQ is not huge by any means, (there are bigger racial differences which are kept hushed for obvious reasons), so for simplicity sake, it is fair to say that men and women are equal in intelligence.

But if anyone is more intelligent, it is definitely men

We're too busy out inventing things and being general geniuses to entertain your earthly wants. Which is why, as midlandmissus rightfully points out, we invented something for you to entertain yourselves with.
