I feel neither gender is smarter. each person has their own level of smartness. One person can be smart in one thing and stupid in another and one person could be the opposite.

What do you think Motek? Who do you think is smarter?

I think women have more binah then men. I wouldn't call it being smarter, but wiser. and obviously this is generalizing, and there are exceptions...

Each gender has their strong and weak points.
When you get married, you balance each others weak poijnts.

What's the connection between gender and intelligence??

I know pleeenty of men and women who are stupid and I know lots of both who are smart too!

Yes, male and female brains work in a different way, but that doesn't make one smarter.

It's like saying whihc one is better, men or women? Answer is neither, they're differnt and have different roles in life.

IQ has nothing to do with gender. However in most cases men are more logical, hence men being better at things like computers (although I did very well as a programmer, but was most of the time the only girl in my department) However in mixed classrooms you will find that the girls usually get the much higher marks. There are other things that woman are better at too, but you really cannot measure smartness on a scale by gender.

I don't think it is a gender thing. I think it is a personal thing. Whether Hashem gave you the brains to be clever.
Also people who are very clever usually lack social skills...so it's a kinda you can't have everything

it's very simple.

I am smarter than my husband, but on the other hand, my husband is smarter than me.

I think that would about sum it up.

excerpt:

Quote:

A gender gap exists in many occupations, but the disparity in the sciences hits close to one of the scariest marks of all, which is the reason a controversy erupted: Are men smarter than women?

The concern unfolds in two questions: 1) Are women handicapped by their upbringing, social pressures, discrimination from men, and more—not just in science but also in other areas? 2) Or are women less bright than men?
