There are more very intelligent men than there are very intelligent women.

>>7252959
It's an other kind of intelligence so you can't compare it. Men are better in math, science, CS, art, politics, etc. Women are better in Gender Studies and sucking dicks.

>>7252959
men are trying harder because they want to fuck the best women.
Most women dont have that impulse and they are less agressive (are trying less hard). There are exceptions on each side.

>>7252971

and what if you test small children?

>>7252974
Children are irrelevant.

>>7252969
But men are better at sucking dicks too. I mean, man can being a woman better than a woman.
Kinda silly but it is true. A man can understand what a man want and please him while a woman doesn't.

>>7252991
A homo only understands what a homo wants, not what men in general want.

>>7252959
Try measuring intelligence first and than examine the brain.

Anyways, it's more socially acceptable to males to be genius than females. Physical science is seen as a masculine pursuit.

Yes.

>>7252959
it depends on what you define intelligence as, there are multiple facets of intelligence. I think when you take in consideration the treatment of women for most of human history they're not necessarily as ''book smart'' as men, but i think there is a great shift taking place. More women going to university than men, more equality.
but then again this is a mongoloid sexist image board the answer is a given. I was solving some calculus problems in earlier threads and thought wow you guys are truly retarded

IQ doesn't measure inherent intelligence. There have been plenty of scholarly articles read about the Flynn effect

>>7253083
I suppose we should just throw out the SATs then, because they're basically an IQ test and like you said IQ tests are meaningless.

It doesn't matter how intelligent they are if they don't use their intelligence. They could be high IQ supergeniuses but it doesn't mean shit because they are immature sociopathic children whose life is devoid of academic ambitions and only consists of rejecting beta manlets and taking as much Chad cock as possible.

>>7252959

>>7253093

>not knowing anything about SAT or IQ tests.

Just because a test doesn't measure inherent intelligence (if there is such a thing) doesn't mean it doesn't measures ones willingness to learn.

"If woman were a thinking creature she would, having been the cook for thousands of years, surely have had to discover the major facts of physiology, and likewise gained possession of the art of healing."
Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

no, men are just generally more driven, more curious and more willing to devote time to their interests

>>7253101
So if you devise a test and you figure out the scores correlate with SAT scores, with academic achievement, with midlife career income, and with reaction times, but you INSIST that it can't correlate with intelligence, then what the hell is the definition of intelligence?

>>7252959
My thesis is that there are staggering similarities between women and pathological liars. Women are equipped to lying, as it allows them a greater evolutionary chance of misleading men into caring for them and their offspring, even if the offspring was the produce of another man.

How high is your spiritual IQ?

>>7253159
When did I ever say that DNA completely dictates our intelligence? The first thing I said to you is "IQ distributions are significant," which is exactly what we see empirically.

http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/math.htm
"The agreement [between the number of women mathematicians in the National Academy and Science and the number we would predict just from IQ distributions] is almost embarrassing."

Your willingness deny the consequences of slight differences in mean IQs is evidence that you are influenced egalitarian ideals that have infiltrated every academic field.

>>7252959

It doesn't matter, you're all ants.

>>7253077
lol this is too good to be true

>>7253174

>posts sub-standard article
>still thinks the mean of IQ distributions aren't affected by the society the participants are a part of.

You really need to read better literature. If you tell women that women usually are worse than men at maths, they'll do comparatively (and significantly) worse. If you get them to read an article about how women are better than men at maths, they'll do just as well to better than men.

You reallllly need to read up on some of the experiments people do in this field. Not just the stupid as fuck ones with brain-scans and >hurr durr these differences in their brains we can see MUST account for the difference

>>7253197
and yet here you are fighting against people saying women are less intelligent

i guess it must be just you that does that

>>7253197

You haven't posted a single shred of evidence yet, sweetheart.

>>7253199

I'm saying there's so many morons on this site that just read they same biased crap as one another. Branch out once in a while and you'll see how ridiculous the arguments you and they make.

I dare you to read both books from simon baron cohen and Delusions of Gender by cordelia fine, and then come back and tell me who's less biased.

Intelligence or IQ or whatever is a very vague concept. But you can compare the enrichments which men and women achieve to our society.
And I can say that (besides coffee filters maybe) there's nothing, literally absolut not a single thing in science, technology or art in the whole cultural history of mankind, which was made by a woman and which I would miss in my daily life.

>>7253259
Lady I congratulate you on being in the upper tail of the bell curve, but god dammit that does not give you the right to rabble off a bunch of anti-empirical post-modern egalitarian nonsense unopposed.

Let me throw you a bone. If humanity were a unisex species, with only females, then the genius females would have built up all the mathematical and scientific discoveries that the dual-sex humanity has achieved. In that sense men and women are "equally smart," but it probably would have taken them a few decades or centuries longer to get where we are today, all else being equal. But we're not a unisex species, and scientific faculty positions are determined by competition. And with just two or three extra IQ points on average, that's enough for the male gender to almost completely crowd out the female gender in scientific representation. It's not "culture telling women they're not as smart as they are," it's economics. Is this not a consistent hypothesis?

>>7253272

mate i linked you a pdf?

just because reading about some articles that concludes men are 'inherently' better at math makes you feel good, doesn't make it true. Other studies suggest the results aren't due to anything 'innate' at all, and these studies are often considered better quality. Read the damn pdf.

did you read the damn thing? if men always had a greater IQ than women, why don't we see it across countries? Or is the fact that it can be explained by cultural differences, eg Japan hates chicks, so not many become mathematicians, but SK loves em and we see as many as men, totally irrelevant? that is what you call your bias, my friend.

>>7253096
this

>>7253356

Just gonna throw this out there cause the /r9k/ shit is retarded. The overall assumption that anyone who isn't a feminist or has a critical view of women, their place in modern society, and their effect on society in general, is some neckbeard neet from r9k is goddamn idiocy and is exactly why this gender thing is becoming more of an issue. When men bring up men's issues or are critical of feminism in general, it's INSTANT SHAMING TIME! It's a given that women do that, but when the white knights do that as well it's just sad and only serves to further the problems we are already seeing between genders societally.

>men score higher and lower on IQ distribution
is incorrect other than socio cultural can't know nuffin

As far as intelligence goes, it seems fairly obvious to me why, historically, things are the way they are and I can explain it like this:

Group a loves ice cream
Group b is kinda "meh" to ice cream.
Reasons are: Group a has a biological need for ice cream and also, just really fucking loves ice cream. Group b also has a biological need for ice cream, but loves it just a little less possibly.

The ice cream store only takes carved wooden bowls. The finer the bowl, the better and more ice cream you get. Group A, over generation after generation, becomes the finest wooden bowl carvers in the world, because they NEED ice cream, and love ice cream a lot, and always want the best ice cream. Group b gets ice cream whenever they feel like it, good and bad ice cream, so they give fuckall about carving bowls, and just generally aren't as good as group a at it, because there's no drive, and there isn't years of artistry involved.

It's really that simple, honestly. Group A is men, Group B is women, Bowls are resources, intelligence, creativity, invention, Ice cream is sex (either for pleasure or procreation, to extend the bloodline).

The difference now, and the reason men are slowly becoming more like "fuck you", is that Group B is starting to make bowls, generally aren't as good at it (probably not for biological reasons) and are like "WE CAN'T MAKE GOOD BOWLS CAUSE YOU KEPT ALL THE BOWL MAKING TOOLS TO YOURSELF!" And group A, still wanting the ice cream, is like, "sorry sorry, here's some premade bowls that are almost finished all you gotta do is sand them and we'll tell you your bowls are the best bowls ever! But a small part of group A is like, ice cream is kinda overrated, and fuck those bitches, I've been working hard on bowl-carving my whole life. grumble grumble. And Group B is like, "well you couldn't get ice cream even if you had the best bowls in the world, haha". And some of group A, still worshipping ice cream, is like, "yeah, you tell em sister!"

Males and females are not isolated populations, you winged fedora.

>>7253408
It may not be, although applied to real life, it is an interesting thought, and in my experience bears itself out in a lot of ways, but that's not the point. You know as well as I do, that this is how it works. If you do not support women totally and completely you are a basement dweller that couldn't get laid if he paid for it. It couldn't possibly be that your overall opinion is based on a shit-ton of real world experience with women, especially younger western women? Nahhhhh, you're just a fag who doesn't lift. It's pathetic, and only serves to point out that critical thinking has ZERO place in modern gender relations. This being a SCI and MATH board, you should all be railing against that fact. But you don't. And it's sad.

I was watching question time the other day and there was a panel of three men and three women discussing gender issues. When the women spoke, they said they wanted men to be more feminine and in touch with how they felt. When the men spoke, the women spoke over them and told them how they felt was wrong and they should feel the way the women think they should feel. This is endemic and pathological. Any thinking person can see that.

>>7253453
>Among the mathematically gifted, there may be as many as 2- to 4-fold more boys than girls depending on precisely where the cutoff is set. However, this gender gap, too, has been closing over time at all levels, including even in the IMO. Thus, there is every reason to believe that it will continue to narrow in the future. Moreover, the gender ratio favoring boys above the 99th percentile is not ubiquitous and correlates well with measures of a country's gender equity, strongly indicating that the gap is due, in large part, to sociocultural and other environmental factors, not biology or gender per se.

Also, does that mean I'm a flying atheist? Cause I hate flying and I am not an atheist. Just so you know.

>>7252959
Is that the right question to ask?

Women are wired to evaluate things with both sides of their brains. This is why they can tell you immediately how they feel about something, while men, who do not have as strong of a connection between the left and right sides of the brain, have to think about it for a bit.

Neither men or women are better or worse for it. They're just different, and sometimes, that means that some people, especially other genders, will be more effective in certain situations than others.

>>7253478
to add onto this i suppose this gender gap has only been relatively closed in the past few years or so as there has been no girls of note

>>7253474
>2- to 4-fold
Like the >>7253174 said, the "profoundly gifted" is not the 99th percentile that would yield a 2- to 4-fold ratio (heck, most people on /sci/ are 99th percentile). The "profoundly gifted" is the 99.999th percentile, from which there is a 20- to 40-fold difference. If the best closing of the IMO gender gap at the moment exists in S Korea, which hasn't really closed very much, then that's not really any evidence at all that the gap will continue to close indefinitely.

>>7253482
We make more men and women every single generation; the males of one generation don't inherit the abilities of the males before them. They are taught those abilities, along with the girls (more so the girls are taught in this day and age - with the real college entrance gender gap).

it takes years to become noticeable in maths, so yes, perhaps when people stop calling chicks dumb, and always trying to imply men are better it might be more equal, or even near completely equal in the future.

this is slightly almost irrelevant but the first woman to win the fields medal was quite recent.


Guys, instead of reading 4chan for all your scientific facts, go to things like racism review and actual peer reviewed journals where people actually know what they're talking about.

>>7253528
>its saying theres most likely no inherent difference, stop holding on to your feel good ideologies.
No it's not. There is nothing which suggests this curve will go on forever until we're equal, and there are quite a few things to suggest that men contribute more significantly to the field of mathematics

so the equalization of womens rights in SK has not affected anything?..

the brain is a very poorly understood and complicated thing, the idea that in all its complexity and plasticity it can some how be hardwired for differing intelligences is a bit of a joke. it is just wayyy too sensitive to the environment for these differences not to be cultural

>>7253543

South Korea IS an outlier, saying that SK women are liberated is a purely post-hoc observation. You could just as easily say that USA women are liberated because of the university entrance gender ratio favoring women. In fact if USA was an outlier in terms of female mathematics faculty, you would be making this exact case.

Alright let's play this through
>men and women are equal in intelligence
>no they're not, they never have been
>that's due to culture, see these studies which are soft science, but are still alright
>men and women are still not equal in .1% of math
>this article says they probably will be
>but they aren't and men and women have different IQ distributions
>but they probably will be because the brain is too complicated to evolve based on sexual dimorphism

Your point is a they probably will be, based on nothing except a curve which you assume will catch up.

>>7253620
I was just dismissing a retarded question of someone who wouldn't bother reading the beginning of the thread.

Men are slightly more intelligent on average but 10 times more daring than women

>>7253630

ahhh, so your issue is your undervaluing of relevant "soft" science, eg surveys and other pretty easily quantifiable things?

>>7253628

the suggested reason more women get in to college is because in our society it's not considered particularly masculine to sit around and learn and read in high school. Its far more masculine to hang outside and play sports, go in to trades, drop out early etc. which is something i for one, certainly noticed growing up, not that it stopped me in particular from trying.

>>7253648
>going to college isn't masculine
That's completely irrelevant for mathematics; 100% of mathematicians go to university.

>>7253648
My issue is your point is literally a maybe based on soft science extrapolation. >>7253514 has very valid points and you've failed to address the IQ distribution curve. And you're saying that it is more masculine for men to avoid college, but there are still more male mathematicians, doesn't this mean that males are beating culture out to join maths programs?

>>7253644
This red herring is just so ebig.

>>7253656

no shit sherlock

we were talking about why more women go in to college in general?

>>7253662
>doesn't this mean that males are beating culture

not at all? just because a larger amount of women go into university doesn't mean that female mathematicians (in particular) are bound to feel like they belong in maths. for an anecdote, my girlfriend won her physics high school prize, then when she considered which degree to take she took linguistics. She hated being surrounded by arrogant males in physics and in retrospect quite easily sees it had to do with what people around her were doing.


My point is based on soft science? yours doesn't explain why culture does appear to have massive amount to do with what we observe. And it's also not supported by the majority of academics (the people who actually KNOW about this stuff).

>>7253677
How is it a red herring if it's true?

>>7253680
>She hated being surrounded by arrogant males
Sounds like your girlfriend's sexism is holding her back.

>>7253689

please don't deliberately misinterpret people.

>>7253680
What the fuck are you talking about? All I'm saying is that men have more retards and more geniuses, and since the chance of a retard and a layman solving millenium prizes is about the same, you'll have more men in the upper echelon of mathematics which would explain the fact that there are more men at the top of fields which require mathematics.
>And it's also not supported by the majority of academics (the people who actually KNOW about this stuff).
>Say something which isn't politically correct
>get crucified


My original masters thesis still stands as follows: >>7253338

>>7253693
>Please don't invoke individual responsibility when I oh so desperately want to blame my own gender for my girlfriend's lack of ambition

>>7253697
>Say something which isn't correct
>get crucified
fixed it for you

this idea of maintaining politically correctness and it having disastrous effects on mainstream science is usually propagated by people who dont know nuffin about race, and the brain.

your masters thesis is that men score higher and lower on iq tests because they're men. if you actually went out of your way to read up on the explanatory power of recognising cultural differences and its effect you would see how silly you're being right now.

trust me anon, I used to believe the exact same thing and it took a lot of reading to get over it.

>>7253703
individual responsibility? it's all well and good to sit there and say that you would've been able to look over and above the stigma around being a girl in physics if you were one. but in reality, it truly does influence the decision maker and you should recognize this if you want to maintain a non-biased opinion about these things.

>>7253721
>your masters thesis is that men score higher and lower on iq tests because they're men. if you actually went out of your way to read up on the explanatory power of recognising cultural differences and its effect you would see how silly you're being right now.
Where can I read about how culture influences IQ tests in both positive and negative ways for a single sex?

>>7252959
Yup

I know that female that didn't even pass high school geometry.

>>7252959
>Why are men more intelligent than women?
fixed it

>>7253727

Theres heaps of info about the greater male variability hypothesis all over the web? just google it.
it was initially thought of as being innate, however recent studies/articles think its still much more likely to be due to cultural norms. Honestly, just google it.

>>7253433

>women

Men get the shit end of the stick in school and still perform well in math and sciences.

My early math and sciences curriculum almost drove me away from the subjects because of my teachers focus on non-relevant skills (e.g. painting a picture of a mitochondria, making an artistic poster about long division)

>>7253721
I have no sympathy for petty sob stories, of which I have heard dozens from girls who "had the potential" but chose freely not to do physics.

>She was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer in 1944, and invented the first compiler for a computer programming language, and the one of those who popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, which led to the development of COBOL, one of the first high-level programming languages.

Oh sweet, delicious irony.

>>7254008
Never heard

>>7252959
Define "intelligent"

>>7254008
The first high-level programming language (Plankalkül) was proposed by Konrad Zuse in 1943. The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper, in 1952, for the A-0 programming language; the A-0 functioned more as a loader or linker than the modern notion of a compiler. The first autocode and its compiler were developed by Alick Glennie in 1952 for the Mark 1 computer at the University of Manchester and is considered by some to be the first compiled programming language. The FORTRAN team led by John Backus at IBM is generally credited as having introduced the first complete compiler in 1957. COBOL was an early language to be compiled on multiple architectures, in 1960.[2]

>>7252959
There doesn't seem to be sufficient data to say with certainty one way or the other.

In terms of IQ I think men get more variance, so there's more men with very high IQs but also very low IQs. Women are more balanced, with a more universal medium IQ. The mean IQ of both groups is similar. I'm generalizing of course.

>>7255378
There's also the issue of whether or not IQ is a valid measure.

I've known very stupid and very clever people of both sexes; not that anecdotal evidence is all that helpful (though you wouldn't think that to look at this thread)

>>7255378
>The mean IQ of both groups is similar
A repeated lie may become the accepted view of people, but it will never make it truth.

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

>>7255388
it really isn't and over 40 years we'll laugh as how we used iq as a universal standard for measuring intelligence

for god sake it was made by a psychologist in the 1800 for his schooltest

>>7255423
Short of getting a more accurate picture by printing the figure out, there looks to be a difference between the averages of about 0.5 "g" points there.
a) what is "g"?
b) is the difference statistically significant?

>>7255444
Look at the ratio.
There is less retarded men, more bright men, and the mean is half a standard deviation in favour of men.

There is no equality, no tradeoff, only female inferiority.

>>7255452
>There is less retarded men

>>7255452
That did not answer any of my questions.

Keanu is one of the few actors that truly respects the work of the people behind the scenes of hollywood movies, is it clear that during his everlasting life he came to appreciate the hard work so he decided to give away 50 millions pounds (out of 70) of his earnings from the matrix sequels. When asked about his act of generosity he said:
"Money is the last thing I think about. I could live on what I have already made for the next few centuries".
>next few centuries

Evolution means that men are mentally better at some shit (rapid decision making, establishing dominance, etc.) and women are mentally better in other shit (overarching decisions and their implications, paleolithic sandwich making, etc.).

Men have more gray matter, women have more white matter. Men have larger amygdala.

Women are going to surpass men, overall, because our readiness aggression leads to poor attention span and is maladaptive in modern society. We may have more raw problem solving skills (cell bodies), but white matter's interconnectivity is better for non-Mad-Max scenarios.

All this crap about women being sociopathic reeks of butthurt. I have several genes associated with low MAO-A activity and estrogen is one of the recommended treatments against psychopathy. Women hardly kill each other. Men kill for control of the harem, not women.

>>7255927
>>7255934
In general men are smarter in some ways. Like math and sharp decision making sure but that doesn't make them smarter. Women are good at analyzing things so they make good psychologists or they can excel in some fields of science or literature.

>>7252959
define intelligence.

life is a bowling game. women play with the bumpers on, men play with the bumpers off. a lot of men hit the gutter and die. its hard to die as a woman because a man will probably take care of that woman. but men who hit strikes get the prestige of everyone

Cruel, but mostly true.

When you think about it, there is nothing inherently bad about all this. We just have different roles; we will never be able to take care of a child like a woman can.
A woman can be smart, until she has a baby.
Honestly, the smartness in a woman may be one of the least important factor to me. I compete with other men, I don't want to compete with a woman; I want to share.

>>7252959
Yes. Women have their own separate chess championship because they always lose to men.

There's no significant sexual dimorphism at that point. Any real differences would start to show up in middle school.

Since it's so hard to measure raw intelligence, a better question might be "Do men accomplish more valuable work than women?"

>>7253077
>the treatment of women for most of human history

The treatment of them? You do realize after hundreds of thousands of years they've JUST NOW started to do work and contribute?

Such entitlement to suddenly demand rights and preferential treatment without even catching up and contributing to society first.

>>7253113
Because only men are punished for not contributing

Intersting question, well I would say that gender has nothing to do with intelligents. As history has shown us both males and females have done remarkable things in the fields of math and science; but the sterotypical genius is often depicted as male. Mainly since there are more males in these fields.

>>7253083
you either dont understand the flynn effect, inherent intelligence or your critical reasoning abysimal.

probably 1).


the flynn effect describes that IQ levels increase wth generation.
therefore, to keep 100 beeing the standard, things have to be adjusted every so often.

so if you want to compare relative IQ (i.e. how exceptional a value is) between generations, you need to compare IQ (=old) with adjusted IQ (=new), instead of IQ (=old) with IQ (=old)

>>7253096
this post refers to a subgroup in women.

they are a minority.
whether their jaded world views are now more accessible and, due to social media mechanics, encounter much less discourse, and/or are glorified in a social phenomon known as '(extreme) feminism' or not.
certainly in the western society it is more accepted/common to have traits and persue activities that make one more akin to these toxic behaviours. nontheless that is not what most are like. nor is what they are happy/fulfilled with/at.
