    Next you'll tell us that men are stronger than women.

    Evil right wing propaganda!

    Maybe Margot can confirm that it's not the size, it's what you do with it... brains that is...

    Do you ever get beyond the title of your own links?

    Note:

    In other words, just by looking at the brain scan, or height, of someone plucked at random from the study, researchers would be hard pressed to say whether it came from a man or woman. That suggests both sexes’ brains are far more similar than they are different.

    AND

    The controversial—and still unsettled—question is whether these patterns mean anything to intelligence or behavior. Though popular culture is replete with supposed examples of intellectual and behavioral differences between the sexes, only a few, like higher physical aggression in men, have been borne out by scientific research.

    For the moment, Ritchie says his work isn’t equipped to answer such heady questions: He is focused on accurately describing the differences in the male and female brain, not speculating on what they could mean.


    NO CONCLUSION from the article. Bigger brain volume does not necessarily equate to more smart brain cells.

    That's sort of what average means, they look at the highs and lows, and then assess a value. Or are you implying sometimes its sexist and sometimes not?

    Well women still have the advantage when it comes to getting by on good looks when intelligence is absent.

    So its not all bad.

    In terms of brains, bigger is not always better. Elephants, dolphins, and whales have larger brains than humans.

    Interesting topic, but could you stop posting threads in current events that aren't current events?

    TIA

    No Margot will tell us that in t he 6 years she spent as a brain surgeon, in between being a forensic examiner and an ambassador, that slight differences in brain size had no correlation with intelligence.

    Male intelligence is more bimodal with smart and stupid.

    Women tend to follow a more traditional bell curve. With lots of women average, some smart, some stupid.

    what is the point of this thread? to suggest that women are dumber than men?

    seriously?

    That's probably why he said "on average".

    Or perhaps that men aren't as dumb as they're portrayed in much of the media.

    IDK, but I'll tell you that women tend to have higher IQs than men, but they rely way too much on their intuition without seeming to notice that they're doing it.

    ADDENDUM: They get away with it because they have boobs, but, if I did it, society would immediately kill me.
