that meta analysis from james flynn is unreliable lmao he is using studies that tested children aged 10-14, not actual adults where men outscore women by 5-6 iq points

October 10, 2025 at 11:52 pm
men have larger brains even when you account for the same height as their female peers, it is all about the science of sexual dimorphism

Just because we have bigger brains doesn't mean we're smarter

Honestly it depends per country and these are all just averages, so when you look at it like that it means that you can be either an idiot or a smartass regardless of your gender.

It seems that you are biased towards women. You mentioned Rosalind Franklin without mentioning the scientists Grick and James Watson. They all had the credit, regardless of their exclusion of her.

0:36 Damn, needing to pick elephants and dolphins to equalize men and women (as a try to enchance women's position) just prooves that this world is really unfair.
Using the same specie as a base for this topic of discussion, the one who is larger is "definetely" in advantage, no?

Girls are smarter than boys
But men are smarter than women

we pick and decide our own genders because we all start as women in the womb then convert to men which is why we have nipples. but we decide to be men because who wants to bleed from a vagina and fantasy about illogical scenarios.

Gee, i wouldve never guessed men are smarter having invented practically every invention, created almost every theory and equation in physics and math and stuff. Compared to womens ability to fill a conversation with endless needless details and general illogical, emotional-ness men have nothing

Girls and boys are the smartest, if you said "which gender is smarter?" Is like you're saying "how do twins become twins".

Another thing I would add in there is that from personal experience, women tend to study harder as well, as I found there to be predominantly more female "over achievers" than male. But once you put an over achiever on the spot, they tend to falter. With that being said, men tend to work better under pressure than women.

99% of things around you were created by men the freedoms that you have are because of men not to say women havent contribute to society but ultimately we have what we have because of men.
