Who is smarter, Men or Women?
« on: December 16, 2008, 11:04:43 PM »
Who's Smarter—Men Or Women?

When it comes to intelligence, the battle of the sexes continues.

People continue to debate the question, Who is smarter, men or women?

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia have released a study that may help settle the debate.

The researchers note that there have been lots of previous studies which found that head size correlates statistically with intelligence--not quite a widely known fact.

Because on average a man's body and head is bigger than woman's, many might believe that men are more intelligent than women.

The researchers say, however, that is not the case. Men and women consistently score equally on intelligence tests, experts agree. Women are just as smart as men.

Job Interview: What Not To Do The University of Pennsylvania Medical Center report also addresses the question, If head size correlates with intelligence and women have smaller heads, why don't they have lower intelligence?

The recent study concludes that men and women simply think differently.

"We are beginning to get an explanation for the lack of intelligence disparity between men and women," said Dr. Ruben C. Gur, noted psychology professor, author of the new study.

"Women have a higher percentage of tissue devoted to computation than men. Men have a greater proportion of tissue assigned to the transfer of information between distant regions."

The recent study found that women have a higher proportion of "gray matter" than men. Men have a higher proportion of "white matter."

Gray matter is where computation takes place with nearby regions in the brain. White matter is responsible for the communication between groups of cells in different areas of the brain.

Forty men and 40 women, ages 18-45, participated in the study on intelligence. The study has received national attention and appeared in several media outlets including the Journal of Neuroscience.

The New York Daily News also reported on the study in a story by Michael Segell and noted: "Women's brains are organized around instant linkage, which explains why they can become best friends with a stranger while standing in a check-out line."

The newspaper also noted, "Men's brains are designed to draw connections between seemingly unrelated ideas and feelings--between a new car, say, and sexual arousal."

The study also offered a possible explanation of why men are better at certain mental processes than women and vice versa. Generally, women excel on verbal tasks, while men do better on spatial tasks.

An example of a spatial task given to the study participants involved viewing an array of lines fanning out at angles. Shown a second set of two shorter lines at similar angles, the participants were asked to identify which lines in the original fan array matched the angles of the shorter line.

Experts agree that the debate on intelligence between men and women is one battle that will go on and on, without a winner on either side. But one thing remains clear, the experts say, men and women do think differently.

Smart ba diay ang tawag jan. Di ba mag wild sab ang kasagarang mga baje when they see an adonis? No wonder, they call themselves woman with the prefix WO meaning 'Wild Over'. That particular prefix just connotes that they are over, if not ahead of man. Ang akong waswet manguna ug pangkalabit bisag hinanok pa ko. Unja pagmata nako, tua na sha sa akong ibabaw. LOL!

as what they said, this argument is endless as nobody will accept who are less smarter. but for me, it depends on the situation but men always came out smarter most of the time. ;D

History judges that Man has done more for Human Civilization.

Most of the scientists that paved the way for Science were men.
Most of the philosophers and etiologists were men. Aristotle, Virgil, and the like.
Most of the Rulers and Mighty Kings, Emperors were men.

Even the LORD himself chose to come in the form of a Man. Christ Jesus. A Man. The SON of Man.

Think about it.

That is the point I am trying to get across. History has judged that Man has produced most of the advances of Human civilization. Most human cultures are paternalistic. The recent phenomenon of Woman's Rights is something that is rather new, historically and chronologically speaking. It is a product of post-Enlightenment reverie of the 19th and the early 20th centuries.


Yours,

Biologically speaking,

The male is dominant, and culturally and socially it transcends the same plane. From culture to culture, from Japanese to Indian, to Chinese, to German, to Spanish, to Mayan, to Malay, to Arabic to Aborigine. The male is dominant to the woman. Which correlates to the biological and physiological reasons. Man is built for hunting, built to wage war with tribes that threaten its existence and its progeny. The woman's role in primordial history was to support Man. Man hunted, gathered, whereas the woman stayed home to bear the Man's child. To farm and to take care of the family and household.

As man dominated masculine positions such as hunting, so as Human civilization progressed and advanced into the Bronze age to the guilded age, so too did the progression of roles. Man not only prioritized position in the military, but in government. Waging wars, establishing empires was the role of the Male. The woman's role, albeit some circumstances relegate a role in power, was merely for the benefit of the domestic front. For the production of population; which translates into a larger population base for further future expansion politically and militarily.
(Roman Empire, Etruscan Empire, Persian Empire, Qing Empire, Mauryan Empire, Arabic Empire, European Empires, etc etc).

Examine it in a biological point of view.
In the animal kingdom, of which Mankind is part of, it is the male that defends the territory, that fights and wages war with different prides, clans, and groups. Does not the male lion defend his pride from other male lions? Do not male wolves protect their young from different wolf packs? The role of the woman is submissive, and secondary to the much more physically able Male.

The Human Body, itself, sings the roles of man and woman. The male's femur, the strongest bone in the body is built stronger and more durable than the woman's, suggesting a role for dominance in defense and offense. The neuocranium of a male (the skull and supporting structures) is far more thicker than that of a female, suggesting an evolutionary development. Since men clashed with each other for defense, and was subjected to attacks from predators and waring tribes, so therefore developed a denser skull. Suggesting a dominant role. The woman's neurocranium, which is thinner, suggests a dependent-submissive role.

The structural build of a man sings glory to the design of God's creation. The male has a substantially larger muscle mass than that of the woman. Men are not subjected to fat deposition as that of women, which tends to accumulate in the upper thoracic and the lower posterior lumbar. Suggesting a woman's role in child birth and weening offspring.

Science Sings Glory to the Designs of Mankind. And roles of the two sexes.
This, my friend, has been so since the dawn of MANKIND.



Absolutely,

Absolutely. Man and Woman are made for each other. XX and XY.

Man has always been the protector. Woman has always been the mother-child bearer.

but still it doesn't answer which is smarter.
and...
man/male specie may be by nature built as protector, but it is not always true when it comes to practice. look at the chickens; see who protects the chicks from predators? it's the Hen, the mother.
nature's law of dominance jumps from species to species regardless of gender. history may judge that man has done more for the human civilization; but history unfortunately forgets the adage, that BEHIND EVERY MAN'S SUCCESS IS A WOMAN.

One cannot generalize who is smarter: man or woman. As an individual's intelligence depends on one's memory retention and retrieval. That depends on the individual.

I stand by my stance.

In this day of age it is impractical and unprofessional to generalize an entire category of people. Including an entire sex. I have come across intelligent men and women in my life. And in the medical field both men and women are equally vital and have their own strengths.

It is best in this day in age to merely respect each other and their rights. Even if we have our own predisposed prejudices. Respect and civility should always be retained, so as to facilitate a smooth process.


Yours,

respect that must come the fact that all are created in the image and likeness of God.
it's the theological basis why each Christian must pursue holiness and, philosophically, why each individual should be treated equal, whether man or woman.

In the Image of the Most High. And in His Likeness.
Man and Woman are both predisposed to sin, but in the Grace of God Almighty, have the power to overcome sin and temptation. That is the power of Grace.

Well said. I concur with your statement.
