Are females intellectually/cognitively superior to males?

[RN97]

I'll just adress some stuff I know and ignore the rest.
>girls do better than boys in school.
True, but misleading. It's due to women reaching puberty and developing sooner than boys. Basically the differences even out by the age of around 18-20 years old.
>No relation between brain size and intelligence
Likely this is very wrong. Some relation between the two factors certainly exist, but this is indeed controversial because of "muh racism"

>Men are more likely to have cognitive impairment:
100% true. Men tend to not cluster around the average IQ, whilst women do. This means that more men have sub-70 IQ, as well as more men having an IQ above 160 compared to women. Chess is a game that requires a very high IQ and men excel at that game far more than women, it's not even close.

Why do pre-pubescent boys get lower scores than girls? Do you have any links regarding scores being compared after puberty?

Men may have more gray matter, but women have thicker cortices.

The IQ differences could be because males have slightly more privilege in society. Whites used to have more privilege over Blacks, but within the past 30 years, Blacks have gained an extra 5 IQ points on Whites (starting at age 4 and then the IQ gap widens after that age). There are also some countries where women equal or surpass men in average IQ: https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...ecord-straight

Thats easy, we all know boys develop slower and have puberty later compared to girls, and brain development is said to not be completely finished before age of 25 in boys. So of course comparing the genders in such early ages is misleading, since boys catch up and surpass women in intelligence when they are both done growing.

Men do have more gray matter, you can remove that "may" from your post. And nope, men do not have more IQ due to privilege, its due to biology. Women are in fact more privileged in western society and if you have time and money to do an IQ test you are unlikely to be an individual who is unprivileged to begin with. Regardless im pretty sure they took into account and corrected for socio-economic status when selecting the subjects for the comparison. Btw your new link there also did not take into account that comparing teenage boys with teenage girls is misleading, especially as young as 14 years of age, before many boys have even started puberty.

Men all over the world are more intelligent than women on average, its fact. Deal with it. And btw yeah its true that IQ/intelligence varies by race as well, with Sub saharan africans having the lowest intelligence on average.

Did women ever start any wars?
Did women enslave POC?
Did women ever keep men down with rape culture?

Clearly men are the inferior gender, I yearn for a world in which men don't exist.

In your dreams....

You are still growing long time?
''Done growing'' then you have reached age of 160years old?

Boys are for more likely to be placed in special education classes. I forget the ratio but it's a big difference. But girls are also underrepresented in gifted programs (unless the school thinks it's sexist to do so). The proportion of men on both ends of the Bell Curve is higher than that of women but the proportion of women in the middle of the Bell curve is higher than that of men.

Women can't start wars, enslave, or rape cuz they have weak girly arms. They always look silly when they throw a ball.

It can't be taken like this. Is apple superior to pear?
Men and women are different, nobody can deny it. Traditionally the male's way of thinking is considered as superior. It is visible everywhere - even all test of intelligence are based on "the male's way of thinking" - are women absolutely tragic in IQ tests? - no... Anyway most people are average as it goes for IQ - these debates who is smarter or who is dumper are therefore useless.
I usually see wars "who is smarter/superior/inferior only on internet" - I will not say what I think about people who are into these debates too much...

So I'll make it shorter - men and women are different - their way of thinking is different - for both men and women would be great try to understand to these differences, it could help them a lot in communication.

Comparing male/female brains directly will have no results because their cognitive capacity is essentially same.

Girls performing in education better have nothing to do with neuroscience. Normally girls are more agreeable as seeking social approval from authority. That makes them sit quietly and actually learn what's needed to get higher marks. Boys on the other hand are more rebellious and prefer to find their own ways to learn about the world very often expressing complete disregard towards educational system. At the end it gives them experience necessary to create new things.

However at the end for most of girls their cognitive ability means little. The main purpose of our frontal lobes is taking care of kids. Cognitive functions are mere side effect. Because of that as soon as girls enter reproductive age their hormones switching focus of their frontal lobes from intellectual things to their natural function - finding a partner and nurturing offspring. Science and motherhood aren't working well together. Your brain could only do one thing at the time.

eg for that
lol no
Have you ever seen a Gaussian function?


Majority (68.2%) people are average = it means normal; you have no chance to recognize if a person has IQ 105 or 95; even differences between people who are slightly above average and under average are not significant as it goes for everyday communication, jobs they are able to do, etc.

As for genders yes more men are at the extremes but still majority of men are just average.

To have IQ above 160 is exceptional for both men and women; you said that like it was a standard.
Btw. women don't enjoy playing chess it is just another male's boring sport....
