I know the current scientific consensus on this is that the sexes don't differ in terms of general intelligence, and if we think men are intellectually superior to women, it's cultural bias.

I know this is just anecdotal evidence, however my own observation is that in intellectually demanding areas, usually men dominate. For example, this political forum. I really think almost everybody here is a guy. And I have to say some of the smarter people here, are very very smart compared to the women I know in real life. I can never, ever, imagine having the types of conversations here with my female friend in real life. And everywhere online, you will see mostly men, too. I really think this points to that the sexes are innately different. I am not saying being more likely to be online means men are smarter, just that men and women are motivated differently, they are different in important ways, and they are attracted to different things.

I mean, let's forget about sexism for a second. Ask yourself, has your personal experience been that women are just as smart as men? Be completely honest with yourself.

men and women do not differ biologically in intelligence potential.

men and women tend to differ in the real world depending on what measures you use to calculate intelligence.

but i also think the dumbest subset of humans tend to be male in any population. women aren't sending men 100$ to buy their used underwear. male only fans models cater to gay men. most victims of online scams are male. etc.

Brain Connectivity Varies Between Men and Women

Talking about "more or less intelligence" is prolly more a lack of ... Intelligence ? Because there are differents kinds of intelligence.


Thus let me bet a small % of women have probably a brain more "masculine" than a small % of men.

its been a while since i have seen the study. I will try to remember.
over all the average is men and women average out equally.
but the variance is greater in men. that means dumber? and smarter at the same time. make sense?
