Why generally are men much smarter than women?

Men are not by any means smarter. However, due to years and years of socially integrated sexism, men have been given the upper hand in terms of education and social status. We are taught to view men as more intelligent and powerful, so that's how we treat them (even though women and men are equal in terms of mental capacity).

So I guess to answer your question, men are not actually smarter, but they do often get better educations because of our sexist society. Pretty sad, isn't it?

I love it, "bigger brian." Yes, we have bigger brians. Exactly where are brians are I am not sure. Maybe part of the liver. Anyway men were always bigger and stronger physically so from ancient times we did not allow women out of the kitchen. As society evolved we were out in the workplace making dough. Women began to work outside the home during WWII but for many decades we allowed them only lower jobs, not jobs to be in charge. Then some male numb scull let them vote, go to college, and have careers. So they demanded equal rights and pay and a corner office with a view. So overall in society today while there is not totally equality between white men and women and minorities it is changing. No, white men like me are no smarter on average than women and minorities.

They're not, it's estimated that about half the inventions were actually done by women(because in most labs women worked alongside men, even 100-200 years ago), you weren't allowed to register that invention as a woman back then though, so they often used a male to get the patent registered.

So the 'facts' aren't a good representation of what happened, because women simply didn't have the right to claim their invetions, until fairly recently.

When you look at real-life now, you see that too, most inventions, businesses are run by both men, and women, and that combo tends to yield the best results(just male, or just female professions tend to lack innovation, and progress, combo-professions are usually way ahead in those categories).

So Men aren't more successful, they just had more rights until well into the 1950s, so history has been scewed by inequality.

You are being sexist that whole question was kind of an oxymoron men are not smarter

I can't give you a valid answer because it's a false premise. Men are not generally smarter than women

LOL at all the guys citing bigger brain as the reason thus proving themselves intellectually inferior by spouting crap. It's not the size of the brain that matters. Hell, one of them can't even spell brain..

Um. You are being sexist.

Edit: To disprove your point - see how many men claimed that having a bigger brain means more intelligence.

Men are not smarter and you ARE being sexist.

No, you're being sexist by spreading bullsh*t to try to debase women. I've seen and heard all of this before from hundred of male mouths.

actually unfortunately for my gender its scientifically proven that percentage wise women are smarter they learn quicker and develop faster

the only thing men got was are physical capabilities

probably given to us to keep the smarter sex from destroying us

Generally? Try always.

Because the generation which made discoveries belonged to that era when women were not allowed to be smart. and go to schools
