I think that men and women are equally intelligent, but men are more likely to abstract a concept into irrelevance: to start wars over religion, to take the most extreme example.

I do not agree with any of those statements.

First of all, the best student in my class are 4: 2 guys and 2 girls.
But the best of all of them is a guy.
And yes, he is focused also on girls and sports, but still he is a straight-A student.
And, there are many girls in my class who are utterly idiots, always thinking about boys and having boyfriend and dressing sexy and showing their boobs under their tight clothes.
Oh and they score lower on tests than most guys in my class.

And the 90% of problems that happened in my classes since the beginning of my school life were caused by girls.

I don't think that boys cause so many troubles; during my life I've caused (unwillingly, most of the times) a lot more problems than most guys I know.
Also a lot of guys in my class score higher than me in tests, while I struggle at getting avarage results (exept in some subjetcs, in which I score above-avarage), but it's not because I'm focused on boys and dressing sexy, it's just that I have attention deficit disorder.
Also, yes, I get angry a lot and am not tolerant to changes. I am a female.

BTW, I don't think that any gender is better than the other, and when people make examples and say a lot of stereotypes and silly stuff to convince me that their gender "is better!!1!11!" they just make me laugh.

Women are just as good and as bad as men, and vice versa.

"Smarter" can mean too many dissimilar things, one can be smart at X yet not smart at Y.
"Common sense" is another nebulous word, hard for me to address.

I'd venture that females tend to be more cautious (less impetuous) than males, though.

from Daniel Kahneman's 2011 book "Thinking, Fast and Slow":

book excerpt wrote:
pg.214: "In another paper titled 'Boys Will Be Boys', they [Odean & Barber]
showed that men acted on their useless ideas significantly more often than women,
and that as a result women achieved better investment results than men."

Women have more common sense.
It's obvious. I can prove it with fact.....

Because girls go to college to get more knowledge.
While boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider.

:lol:

OMG yes, I think girls generally have far more common sense than boys. They are far less likely to idiotic things, be reckless and take chances on risky behavior. Boys set things on fire, blow things up and engage in vandalism far, far more frequently than girls. Boys commit criminal activities far more than girls, and they are more violent than us. Most of the problems in this world is caused by males. Most prisoners are males. Males are competitive and have to win everything, girls like to play for fun, relax and ejoy themselves.

Most great inventions are from another time entirely. How many females were allowed to get an education or had jobs that would make them able to come up with inventions back then? Exactly. We still don't have true equality.

No. Youth girls (bimbo's/blondes) and boys (wannabe gangsters) appear dumb, girls probably A LOT DUMBER but even though it seems like it they're probably acting and extreme feminism is also very stupid, if girls were smart and boys stupid everything from the bushfire to the space rocket would've been invented by girls.

I would say on average girls are more emotionally mature and have more common sense. They make better grades in school on average only because theres a lot more guys than girls who make crappy grades.

Maybe it's because I'm not around men much any more, but guys these days just seem like they only think with their hormones and not their brains. :(
Girls, on the other hand, can be very immature and insecure about everything. And their frequently shrill voices don't help.

I definitely like men's voices better than women's, but I've heard heterosexual men say the opposite. I think it's just a matter of aesthetics.

Correction, men would just realize that they don't need a bathroom and just pee on the wall outside.

Now that I broke one bad example ill break the rest, humans lack common sense. Its a damn near superpower now a days. Heck it can even be broken down into things like street smarts and such because of little people have it.

I think doesn't matter. What matters is the individual. I am a girl and I am a bad at common sense when it comes to the sciences yet my sister is so good at it.
