Women have smaller brains than men

[Linker Niederrhein]

Our brain size>Neanderthals. True fact. Does that make us sub-evolved cavemen that shouldn't be alive today? No, it's the arrangement of gray/white mass that counts.

First, it's <, not >.

And secondly, the Neanderthals weren't sub-evolved cavemen. The notion has been systematically demolished in the past thirty years - as it is, there's little to no reason to believe that Neanderthals were intellectually inferior to Homo Sapiens.

Bad example is bad.

I sometimes think women are smarter than us men...

They don't waste centuries killing each other, for instance.

We were doing it for them...

[Zarbli]

I know my girlfriend is smarter than me for sure.

I'm better at wikipedia knowledge, though.

Thatcher + Merkel = Hot.

I don't have heart for lesbians. But if you like lesbians, you are free to do.

You're missing out on a lot. What a boring life you must lead without lusting after apparently lesbian Politicians?

[Soyut]

so what, an elephant's brain is like 4 times bigger than a humans

[Blitzkrenia]

I'm a heterosexual male. I watch heterosexual porn. I'm aroused by breasts. That enough for ya?
(Apologies to all females in this thread.)

If so, why are you still liking other 100% males? Me confused!

How the f**k did you reach that conclusion? And homosexual males are just as smart as heterosexual males, thank you.

I'm sorry that I revealed that you liking other 100% males. It was not purpose.

Maybe homosexeruals are just as smart, but maybe not too. How many Einstein homosexeruals is the Earth having?

Hundreds. Thousands. Also, do you have proof that I am homosexual? If you do, feel free to tell everyone.

Also, if you really want to scrape the bottom, have you ever taken an IQ test?

[Meridiani Planum]

The volume of the average women brain is 1130 cc while it is 1260 cc for the average men, resulting in a difference of 11,5%.

Are men now smarter than women? Why or why not?

Women are shorter on average than men. So what is the ratio of brain size to stature? It seems to me that this would be a better measure.

But like other people I think intelligence has more to do with the quality of the "wiring" than the bulk.

[Sith Korriban]

Here, some other noted female warriors and commanders/leaders;
Boudicca of the Celts (who had a husband and two daughters, was manifestly not a lesbian, and devastated Roman London)
Female Samurai Tomoe Gozen-

Tomoe was especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair, and charming features. She was also a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot. She handled unbroken horses with superb skill; she rode unscathed down perilous descents. Whenever a battle was imminent, Yoshinaka sent her out as his first captain, equipped with strong armor, an oversized sword, and a mighty bow; and she performed more deeds of valor than any of his other warriors.
—The Tale of the Heike (Heike Monogatari), translated by Helen McCullough, page 291.

Mochizuki Chiyome
Hangaku Gozen
Nakano Takeko
Matsudaira Teru
Yamamoto Yaeko
Akiko Yamamoto
Yamakawa Futaba
Ahilyabai Holkar
Catherine II of Russia
Nene Hatun (married, two children)
Halide Edip Adıvar
Sabiha Gökçen (first ever female combat pilot, flew 22 different types of aircraft for more than 8000 hours during her career in the Turkish Air Force)
Gao Guiying (Chinese revolutionary, rebellion-leader and army-commander)
Shen Yunying (Female general in Ming Dynasty China)
Qin Liangyu (one of the highest ranking female generals in Chinese history)

Do you require more?

[My 3rd Floor Flat]

What is this nonsense? Women are not smarter than men and men are not smarter than women, not because we have the same IQ's or because of politically corect legislation but simply because male and female brains specialise diffirently for different tasks. Men have highly developed co-ordination and vocabulary centers in the brain, whilst woman have highly developed multi-tasking abilities and greater emotional perception. Amongst other differences we are simply different, equal in terms of civil liberties, but in terms of skills, as different as one person is to another.

And, just to stick in a quod erat demonstrandum, to knock down the opening post.

Einsteins brain was significantly smaller than that of an average mans; so by your profound reasoning either women are smarter then men, or Einstein was a woman stuck in a mans body. Hu33ah 4 Scinc3!

Hundreds. Thousands. Also, do you have proof that I am homosexual? If you do, feel free to tell everyone.

If it is hundreds or thousands then can you call one homosexerual Einstein, no?

Should I have proof about your homosexeruality? How can I have proof about your homosexeruality? I'm confused.

Yes, I have taken an IQ test once. It was located on the desk of my teacher, so I have taken it and dropped in the garbage can.

But yes, it's not the size that matters for intelligence.

Oh, and Einstein had a smaller brain than average.

Source?

You have the name of one homosexerual Einstein?

[Czardas]

Maybe you are a 100% male that likes other 100% males. Maybe such males, which are not real man, their brainsize is maybe between that of real men and women.

I'm going to stop you right here. Although I can't say you've exactly been on your best behavior in this thread before that post in particular, posts such as these are evidently intended to insult and offend people, for which you can have a warning for trolling. Someone with a brain of your size should be able to acquaint themselves with the rules and learn what not to do in the future.

[Jubu Jubu Jabu]

Ah, but the problem is that men use most of their brains for sex.

But since a woman has more holes, wouldn't they need larger brains?

It takes a lot of brain power to work a phallus...

*removes mod hat*

Now, to answer the question (however trollishly it may have been intended), the difference in intelligence between men and women is negligible. However, fewer women have become notable because up until the twentieth century their social status in most of the world was inferior to men's, so they had little opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities. In the twentieth century, with the various feminist movements starting from women's suffrage and continuing up to the present day have more or less equalized the opportunities available to men and women, so it's only now that we're seeing large numbers of women in positions of notability that were formerly largely or entirely male-dominated (elected -- as opposed to hereditary -- rulers; creative artists; military officers; lawyers; scientists; et cetera). The fact that in most of North America and Western Europe more than half of all university graduates are women (IIRC...) should put to rest the myth that something innate to women prevents them from being as intelligent or successful as men.

I believe woman can be smart and man can be not smart.

But on average the man is having a bigger brain and thus he is more smart.

That is why we do not have woman presidents, women on the moon, einstein-females, woman popes or even woman beatles...

When was the Beatles the epitome of "smart"?

And like South Norwega said, traditional gender roles.

In ancient history, here were occurrences when women (and sometimes only women) could be priests.
