Women have smaller brains than men

[Lunatic Goofballs]

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?

Hm. Apparently I was wrong about the size of Einstein's brain. I'll give you that.

Alan Turing.

You have a source that he was a homosexerual?

And who is Alan Turing?

This Alan is a homosexerual. But so is my neighbour. And he is not smarter than Einstein.

I do not think the homosexerual Turing is smarter than EInstein.

N0es! Bad Science!

Please for all of your sakes go and get yourself upto speed with the fundamental aspects of the second most surprising organ on earth which we call the brain!

You either don't realise it was a joke, for Mr Williams is a comedian, or you have donned the trollish hat and set yourself on fire.

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

Actually, no, we don't have those because there has been a traditional social prejudice against women in any kind of position of power, authority, or notability for a very long time.

A good example: In Taruskin's Oxford History of Western Music the question is asked: "Why are there so few women composers?" The traditional answer, given up until the mid-twentieth century, was that creativity was inherent to men only, being an attribute women lacked (generally issued in a very patronizing form such as "Well, women can create babies, so men had to find other things to create."). Taruskin's survey found that there had in fact been many women composers, some quite talented, but they had no access to traditional means of disseminating their works. A woman composer sending a score of music to a publisher would only have it published as a curiosity, if that, and if her social class was high enough to justify it; otherwise the manuscript would just be thrown out because "women don't write music!". A woman composer attempting to form an orchestra to perform her music would be laughed at and ignored. Et cetera. Many of them simply gave up just because there was no possible way for them to make a living from it, since no one would pay a woman to write a piece of music no matter how good at it she was simply because of her sex. Until the twentieth century, of course, which has seen increasing numbers of female composers since the traditional prejudice is no longer as strong.

It's the same in every other field. A woman who wanted to be a scientist wouldn't be able to get into a university to study science, since until fairly recently all universities were male-only and the only schools for girls didn't teach such things because the only foreseeable roles for women were whores, wives, or widows. A woman who wanted to be an astronaut had to get into the military first, and the military is still a highly conservative institution where it comes to gender roles -- only something like 10% in most of the branches is female just because "women can't fight!" (a belief even some women hold, which is why they don't bother attempting to sign up because it's Not Done.) And so on, and so forth.

(As for women popes -- women may still be barred from Catholic priesthood, joining of which is necessary to become Pope. I'm not entirely sure. If they're not, they certainly were barred for 90-95% of the church's history.)

Turing created the Turing machine, which played a very important role in creating the computer, which you are using. Of that's not smart, I don't know what is.

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.

Solution: More blood. Eat your steaks rare, kids.

[Lord Kropotkin]

women have somaller brains than men, but thats only becouse the size of all organs are proportional to the size of the body. Having said that, you also have to notice that women have a more dense brained.(more neurons in the same space). So the intelligence is even bettween men and women. Men have the advantage of size and women have more density.

Also as a side note, having a big brain makes you smarter (if the density isnt change) but with a limit, brains that are very big are slow, so the limit beetween size and being smarter ends in the size of the human brain, thats why animals with big brain arent smarter than humans.

Here, a science fact that may interest some; the corpus callosum, the nerve fibres connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain, has been confirmed to be 30% thicker in women. The hemispheres are more connected, which allows for a greater flow of information between hemispheres; this leads to an increased ability to multitask unrelated abilities, frequently more fluent speech, and an ability to make fast, accurate judgements generally chalked up to 'intuition.'

Ofcourse men are smarter, what have women invented? they didnt even invent the tampon.

Women presidents?

I shake my head at you. Have you not heard of Margret Thatcher? All over the world they have female Presidents. Einstein-females? Marie Curie and Rosalind Franklin- who developed the original structure of DNA before Crick and Watson, who actually inspired their research and told them what they were doing wrong. She died before they unveiled their final structure. Women Beatles? Well, my my my, look who doesn't listen to the radio.

[Cyrelia]

Ali, for one moment I'm going to indulge your trollery. Einstein was intelligent: but pray tell me how you can compare his intelligence in regards to physics with that of Turing's in computer technology (and philosophy in regards to his "Turing test")? Intelligence is not so simple as "list achievements" its also down to breadth of knowledge, capacity for reason, IQ, etc etc. All of this, most of all what you keep saying, is nothing but pseudo science. Brain size does not equate to levels of intelligence.

If you want an example of a female Einstein, try Marie Curie. She's easily on a par with Einstein in the scientific community.

Is anyone else disgusted with women and the way they act these days?

You always hear about how "men are pigs", but by virtue of the way the average woman treats others, women are rats.

Women lie constantly.
They will tell any lie, big or small, to get the things they want, material or otherwise. This leads into my next point.

Women are shamelessly materialistic.
The
female obsession with and pursuit of expensive and pretty things is
simply astounding. Women assign value to themselves, men, and other
women based on how many nice things they have. This is the reason high
school girls buy $600 dresses for prom, the reason women EXPECT a man
to spend a quarter of his salary on an engagement ring so that she can
feel special, and the reason men aged 25-40 will buy a car on credit
that they can't really afford. They all know that women are watching
and judging them based on these status. Women do this because they have
zero understanding of what traits constitute true character in a person.

Women are cowards.
Not
just in the sense that they are physically weak (which is
understandable), but in a psychological sense, as well. The average
woman is so timid and passive-aggressive, she will almost never engage
in face-to-face confrontation with a man. They shy away from this,
because they lack the ability to speak with conviction and stand up for
themselves. Instead, a woman will punish a man silently. She will play
tricks on him and manipulate him, causing him to become more and more
irritated until he changes whatever it is she dislikes. This holds
especially true in relationships. If a woman is dissatisfied with a
relationship, she will almost never come out and say it; she is too
afraid to cause trouble. Instead, she will act out more and more,
wasting the man's time and energy until he finally gets fed up and
leaves her.

Women are fickle.
This is the worst one of all. Women have no
loyalties. Their only allegiances are to money, power, and status. As
soon as a man begins to lose any of these, the woman's attachment to
him weakens steadily and she begins to second-guess her decision to be
with him. Then, the minute a new man comes along, a man with more
money, power, or status, she has a "change of heart" and runs off with
her new superhero. Eventually, the same thing will happen to the
newcomer, and once again, the woman will pick up and leave. There is no
such thing as love; it is only an illusion, predicated upon the
thickness of a man's wallet, and the balance in his bank account. This
wouldn't be such a problem if the end result was just a broken heart
and not a divorce; if the wishy-washy slut didn't end up with half the
man's money, but most of the time she does.

I believe that the
root of the problem is the freedom that women are given in today's
society. Part of it is the rights women are given in modern society; so
protective is the judicial system, that wives are now allowed to tease
their husbands, to bitch endlessly without any recourse. Another part
of it is the so-called "self-esteem movement". Women today are brought
up believing that they are each a beautiful, unique flower; a princess
waiting for their very own price charming to come and whisk them away.
By allowing them to believe them, their parents have instilled in them
a sense of arrogance and self-righteousness, and shielded them from the
truth: that the vast majority of them will go on to do nothing
significant with their lives, save for sapping some poor sucker's bank
account, popping out a few retarded kids, and then divorcing him and
taking half his shit.

Whatever the root of the problem, this shit needs to end. Quickly.
