Why are men so much smarter than women?
I mean, it seems unfair how much smarter men are, I am just wondering what the biological cause of this phenomenon is.

You arent going to get far with this tone in a question.
Men AND women can be smart, or ridiculously stupid.
Often within the same 5 minutes.
My boss is a genius in some regards, but cant comunicate his thought to others very well. He thinks everyone should see it as plainly as he does. But most usualy dont.
A female freind of mine is very quick and clever, but cant keep herself out of trouble, for reasons that are obvious to everyone but her.
Its more of a human thing, than gender related.
Men and Women do think differently, though.
Men tend to think more practicly, and women more emotionaly, or intuitivly.
Both can be correct, but in different ways.

There is no biological cause for it. Then why would the person with the highest IQ in the world- Marilyn Vos Savant- be a woman?
What you are asking about is the fact that our society tries to encourage women to be emotional and subjective and silly, and I think it is starting to encourage men to be that way too, just that they haven't caught up to women in the dumb department yet.

Pshh...
Are men smarter than women? No. But they sure think they are!
They're not, reports say that men are not smarter than women
Would you adopt a male puppy because you thought you could teach him more tricks? No, you wouldn't. (And we don’t find more female moths in our light fixtures!) Why should anyone think that human females are an exception?!

The brains are physically larger, but it comes with less connection between the hemispheres. Women are able to multi-task better, and often live longer. They may also resolve conflicts with less killing of each other.

Sorry but if you were "open-minded" then you would have figured out that intelligence is something that needs to be worked on and constantly practiced. Do you think Einstein was born with the knowledge to compose the theory of relativity? No he developed that ability.

Okay, this is very clearly just a question to get a lot of angry answers, because I'm sure I'm wayyy smarter than you. = ).
Bored, much? You must be such a sad person. = (.

Recently in my own experiences ive seen the complete opposite, so this question seems weird to me, but i understand it's origin however, recently i've seen otherwise.
Plus it seems to make men angry when a Woman is smarter.
Im a man.
And it doesnt make me angry, it makes me horny.
