Let's get it started...
Um, intelligence is such an intangible and abstract concept that you're not likely to really define it in one-dimensional terms. There are so many facets to a person's intelligence just like their personality because it is so complex and full of dimensions. I may not be good at putting things together, but I may know a lot about music and writing just like another person, man or woman, could be excellent at putting things together in a technical fashion, but tone deaf, and a bad speller with less imagination.
Anyhow, in answer to the age-old ? that probably still will never be answered, it has been proven that women as a whole are more intelligent than men. (I'm trying to find the link. I saw this on a talk show. A psychologist confirmed it. He's done numerous studies on the brain.), children are proven to have inherited their intelligence from their mothers. So does that signify that women are generally more intelligent? I like to think so, but I have to admit that men appear better at certain things than women - like math and science. So like I said there are too many facets of intelligence to debate. If you want to tally them, list all the facets and write whether women or men are stronger in these areas. For instance: math and science - men; writing- women; multi-tasking- women; fixing things - men
And for all of you men who thought it was funny to disrespect women by referring to us as a "pathetic race" or titles of that sort, I have three things to say to you:
1.) Grow up.
2.) Get over yourself.
3.) I can smell your insecurity a mile away. You better duck before someone else smells it.
oops.
I was trying to quote someone else, but it kept putting me on that lesbian comment for whatever reason. I was trying to reply to a man or boy or whomever, Anomaly, who stated that women learn better by reading and men learn better by speaking. I was just confused. I was wondering... are you admitting what women have been noticing but have taken the blame for all these years? I do think men talk more when they get in one-on-one with each other. It may be about politics, religion, or whatever, but they're going to talk and debate the issues. I know my dad loves to do that. 😄

Is that why women talk more? I'm confused. You said that men learn better by talking and women learn better by reading books, but don't people like to say that women talk more?
I said that? I don't recall saying that women and men learn differently. Well, actually, I know a lot of mouthy lesbians. In fact, I'm sure that makes them better lesbians.

because whether you like it or not....we will always have a booby fixation
I personally believe that neither man nor woman is more intelligent...
Men are very straightforward in how they think.
Women overcomplicate things, we think things through WAY too much.
But like. Neither one of those is technically "better" or "more intelligent".
Both characteristics get the job done.
Also, depends on the person... some people are just. more intelligent than others, it's just how it works... but i dont personally believe it has anything at all to do with gender.
