Women are less intelligent than men.

I don't know whether women are less intelligent or not, but they're certainly more emotional and less funny.

Was about to go on a rant, but this. This post maaadee myyy daaay! Thank you!

Haha aww good to hear. I swear I was just so mad when I first read this thread!

The title is a belief that I personally believe in. Yes, intelligent women exist, but they are less in number.

Statistics exists for a reason, they give us a chance to make important and useful generalizations. Male Engineers outnumber female Engineers, because men are inclined towards engineering as they are more intelligent on average.

It's why I laugh at the idea of feminism, both genders are not equal. Society organized it's way like this because society is run by two sects of similar organisms with completely different hormonal profiles, societal trends will correlate with such hormonal profiles.

-Men are more likely to take risks; Men will dominate the business world.
-Women are safer drivers than men; men will be involved in more car accidents.
-Men are more hungry for sex than women; there will be more male rapists.

These things pan out by themselves, no one is forcing it. Both genders are fundamentally different with different drives and levels of ambition.

Just to clarify, your admission that there are obstacles for women to be in a position to receive awards etc. that men do not face means you are accepting that your method of judging intelligence is worthless. Particularly because you're talking about historical achievement where the barriers to success facing women were even higher.

It actually demonstrates the opposite of what you're claiming and is used as evidence of structural discrimination against women - we know there is no gender difference in intelligence, we know there is no gender difference in academic/scientific performance etc. but these inequalities still persist.

It's primarily people who have nothing to do with science that believe there are gender differences in intelligence. Every science department up and down the country acknowledges that women are just as capable scientists as men but are structurally discriminated against, and is working towards breaking down those barriers. The body that represents the councils that fund research in the UK (RCUK) expects departments to be working towards that goal, and the NIHR explicitly links funding eligibility to working towards gender equality in STEM departments.

Exams aren't much of a measure of intelligence these days, they're closer to reflecting how many hoops you're willing to jump through.

You make a thread about how men are more intelligent than women, and yet write complete and utter drivel in your OP? How ironic.

There are more male engineers because our society has discriminated against women for centuries. Male domination breeds male domination. It's not very hard to understand why a career where your gender is the extreme minority is less attractive.

You're talking about the importance of statistics, yet the one statistic you've mentioned is completely irrelevant!

People who say exams aren't a measure of intelligence = people who don't do well at exams.

Stop talking nonsense. Women are pushed to go into science, maths and engineering now more than ever before. In fact it is much easier for a woman to get into university for engineering, maths and the sciences than it is for males because universities use laxer standards for them.

The absolute truth is that women's brains are wired differently to men and this gives them a disadvantage in the mathematical and scientific disciplines. Every statistic in the world supports this. And it's basic logic, supported by many top academics (including the former president of Harvard university, and Chairman to the federal reserve) who have not been tainted by marxist (everyone is equal, really!) and feminist propaganda.

This is absolute nonsense! The statistics are only a reflection of our society's failures. There is absolutely zero scientific evidence to show that women are intrinsically worse at STEM subjects that men.

Every "scientific evidence" is based on statistics btw.

Completely agree with you, not only are men and women biologically different, it is instinctual by the fact that women are more emotional and better in verbal skills. Years ago nature shows how men use to hunt for food, whilst women would take care of the child.

No. Scientific understanding is based on how the brain actually works, not on employment statistics.

And how one concludes how the brain works? By conducting experiments and observations which are repeated many times...
