    Actually, this study does have some scientific merit. A recent parallel study has shown that women will eventually harbor intelligent DNA in their lifetime, unfortunately 95% of them will spit it out.

    I would gleefully pit myself against Septimus in a spelling/grammar contest. Come to think of it, so would my schnauzer!

      Typical feminist responses include laughing, scoffing, character assassinations, spelling/grammar corrections and interrupting (which can not be done here in this forum.) This is what they do when they don't have a real argument. Be aware.

        Typical response from someone with a penile superiority complex. Perhaps you will be satisfied when you have amassed a vast harem of vaginas bowing before you and awaiting your every whim. I pity you for your insecurities.

          I don't know about anyone else, but I would be throroughly satisfied having amassed that.

            So would I, but its still a fool's dream.

      • Posted By: beniceyall @ 01/25/2008 1:25:04 PM

        And NONE of the male responses fit into any of those categories....

    • Posted By: Septimus @ 01/25/2008 1:00:47 PM

      anytime

    I find it curious that many of the comments here appear to have been made by people who clearly didn't read (or understand) the article.

    It's about the perception of intelligence. Men are PERCIEVED by themselves, as well as most females, to be the more intelligent. It stated several times that males and females are generally equal.

    Men have bigger egos. Is that a suprise to anyone??

    I believe there is much more drama here about the title of this article, than the body of the article.

  • Posted By: Bustem868 @ 01/25/2008 2:20:53 PM

    There is a lot of mob like mentality going on here. When men are with men they disrespect talk about women and women do the same thing. But when comes down to one on one and there is a bond between them all this matter of who is perceived smarter goes right out the window. This game of Domination is silly yet it has been going on for centuries.

    In elementary school, middle school, and high school girls always seemed to be the best students. It wasn't until college I felt I could compete with them. My wife and I took IQ tests to see which of us was smarter. Actually her score was two points higher than mine. Both scores were over 150.

    Culture has allot to do with attitudes toward intelligence and who is smartest....or dumbest, etc.

    • Posted By: memphis2008 @ 01/25/2008 12:51:12 PM

      I agree with you. Culture and society play a pivotal role in determining how people perceive themselves.

      • Posted By: stone5150 @ 01/25/2008 2:19:39 PM

        Culture and society also play a big role on how IQ tests are written and administered.

    This article was a woman's opinion, I would like to see the facts. I bet she only manipulated the data she found relevant. I know plenty of woman who think they're brilliant, whom are not. Lets see more data and less speculation.

    This is a comment for Septimus: You are one the men that causes people to believe that men are stupid. Your mouth writes checks that your a-- can't cover. You need to learn that no matter who you are, where you come from, or whether you are a man or a woman, that someone, somewhere is smarter than you whether they are a man or a woman. You can be a man and a woman is smarter than you, or you can be a woman and a man is smarter than you. They weren't trying to say any gender was smarter than another you idiot: they were saying that everyone has the ability to be just as smart as anyone else!

      If you study even half as much as i do. then you may have the right to post your last comment. but i can tell that you dont and you just like to write story`s. but if the lies of hillary clinton follow in your foot steps then the world is surly doomed.

      • Posted By: sharpasatack @ 01/25/2008 1:42:22 PM

        I don't think I want to study half of whatever half it is that you study ... shure ain't the inglish langwaj

        • Posted By: Septimus @ 01/25/2008 1:54:01 PM

          this study does show the truth that weomen are the dumber race. see it live it get use to it. stop bashing men. if yopu notice that all comments are towards men and dogging us. but without the man the world would be nothing. i think if i am right isnt it in the bible that god/ what ever made women from men. and that the women picked from the tree of life when god/ what ever said not to. sounds like men are smarter then me. and how long ago was this

          • Posted By: Sunny101 @ 01/25/2008 2:17:34 PM

            Weomen, lol... Its amusing that use use fairy-tales to validate your point. Its my dearest wish that you be reincarnated as a hermaphrodite to knock you off your high-horse.

    • Posted By: Septimus @ 01/25/2008 12:54:55 PM

      by the way are you a women ? sure sounds like it me. if story`s like this would stop showing up and making people mad. then this wouldnt be a issue. get real man.

  • Posted By: Malenkadivine @ 01/25/2008 2:09:21 PM

    Women are smarter!!!!!! Period

    • Posted By: stone5150 @ 01/25/2008 2:14:59 PM

      Except when she is on her period. =oP

  • Posted By: iamadingdong2 @ 01/25/2008 1:34:52 PM

    Didn't a woman invent the remote control for television? Sounds like the gals really ARE smarter!

    • Posted By: Septimus @ 01/25/2008 1:40:01 PM

      didnt a man make the tv

      • Posted By: stone5150 @ 01/25/2008 2:13:56 PM

        Yes, but a man also invented reality TV.

  • Posted By: Marmey @ 01/25/2008 2:11:08 PM

    I always though that we have the same intelligence, but I think historically the idea that men are smarter it has been so convenient for them, is a way to keep the women behind, so they can take the decisions and have more control of the world, the real problem here is when we let them do it because we believe it, now we need to start teaching our daughters that they have the potential to do anything they want, to teach them to have self-esteem.

  • Posted By: daplane @ 01/25/2008 1:33:56 PM

    Im a male, and i think im more smarter than almost all chicks. they dont really think too good, and i yell when tthey make me mad. "you stupid woman dont u know how tomake soup!?:" Then their are women who beat and kill thier babbies. so I ask you: men are more smarter than woman.

    • Posted By: stone5150 @ 01/25/2008 1:54:14 PM

      Yes you are 'more smarter'. 'More smarter' than what it remains to be seen, invertabrates, maybe?

      • Posted By: JohnWayneSpacey @ 01/25/2008 2:10:20 PM

        I am aslo male, but feel "Daplane"'s comment is the epitome of what the article was saying. Most guys think they are smarter than they are.

        One thing I find very curious: It appears many of the comments in this thread were by people who didn't read the article.

  • Posted By: Redsp @ 01/25/2008 1:48:01 PM

    Blah, Blah, Blah.

    Men might be slightly smarter than women, but only if they are using the right head. In many instances they don't. Get a life people, this article is meaningless, and after reading it I think my IQ dropped a few points.

    • Posted By: Septimus @ 01/25/2008 1:56:04 PM

      speek with the ***. did you know that females talk more about sex then men do now.

      • Posted By: Redsp @ 01/25/2008 2:09:27 PM

        Of course, we are all just sluts trying to manipulate men. Now I'm headed to my company's gym to excercise while all the lame men stare at my butt that I work so hard to keep nice and tight for my husband of 15 years. By the way, I know he's smarter than me by about 3 IQ points, but I don't mind, it gets me out of having to change the oil or mow the lawn.

  • Posted By: Malenkadivine @ 01/25/2008 2:08:48 PM

  • Posted By: TheInquisitor @ 01/25/2008 2:05:05 PM

    OMG this is so dumb.. and all these studies and articles that aim to demoralizing the male gender is just getting old. Women are smart and men are smart. Ok? We both have to be in order for our children to survive this complicated and dangerous world. That is the true human condition. Women generally are smarter at some things, and men are smarter at others. You see it in daily life. So what. But keep in mind that not everyone fits into a perfect mold, it's all very fuzzy with many generalities, therefore we should always keep an open mind and be flexible with our perceptions on gender and even race. Gender strengths exist for a reason, and are important to the survive of race and culture. We come together to compliment our stengths and weekness. In other words men and women need each other. It is a team effort. That is how human nature works best. So lets just stop this silly crap. The writer of this article obvously (and probably the editor too) has issues and biases toward men. She is probably a divorced lonely career woman with a big feminist ego. It's really her problem. Moving on.

    Look people..Men are in no way smarter or BETTER than a woman... Men have had more opportunity than women and therefore have had a hell of alot more success. One can hardly say you are better than someone else when the other hasn't had the same opportunity than you. It's like you saying your faster than someone because you beat them in a race when in reality you've had a head start all along.. As an Africna American I have had several discussions about gender and race..etc and how they affect us within society. And stating that men are smarter than women because they have done more is the equivelent of saying that white people are better or smarter than black people because they have done more and have ruled for so long.( I wouldn't be suprised if half the idiots here actually thought THAT). Lets cute the bullshit and be honest here ok... The world is run by men and men think that due to their Physical strength they are better than women...well let me put it this way.. I really don't give a *** about how much you can lift or how fast you can run... ( Because that in my opinion does not warrant respect.)..Rather show me how much you can TAKE....and excuse me but it seems to me that women deal with A HELL of alot more than men do on a regular basis....For all the Ego and Bravado that men put it would appear that it is more due to a LACK of confidence because anytime you have to put another down to make you feel better about yourself that speaks volumes and throughout history that is EXACTLY what men have done... And seriously WOMEN bash MEN?...lmao give me a break ..the last time I remember it was women in parts of the world that were being treated as second class citizens and living in conditions to that of slavery by the hands of MEN (or am I wrong?...I think Not)... tell me the last time you've heard about a woman doing the same to a man...The Point of THIS????? Here's the point men think they arebetter due to physical strength...that IS the only reason and it has ALWAYS been the only reason....noone is better than the other MENTALLY. My suggestion (Get OVER YOURSELVES). Oh and quit puttin down feminist...God, you guys really hate it when women show ANY sort of confidence don't you.
