    Do you agree with these statements about women being more intelligent?


    "One theory for the result is that the demands of juggling family life and building a career have made women more intelligent.
    Another theory is those women have always had the potential for higher results, but are only now realising it.
    Flynn, who will publish the findings in a new book, added: “The brains of modern people are growing differently and showing increased cognitive complexity which we measure as increases in IQ.
    “This improvement is more marked for women than for men because they were disadvantaged in the past.”
    But he said more data was needed to explain the trend.
    Supporting the notion that women are more than capable of taking on the stereotypically-male hunter-gatherer role, is Helena Jamieson, 33, a consultant who studied English literature at Cambridge.
    On her marriage to stay-at home father Luke, 37, she said: “We have done the role reversal. I’m definitely the more intellectual person in the relationship and I’m at work full time while he is raising our daughter.
    “I think women probably always knew deep down that they were the more intelligent ones – but as the gentler sex we were quiet about it and let men continue to believe they ruled the world.”

    A can of worms. If you say men are more intelligent, you are a misogynist. If you say women are more intelligent, you are enlightened.

    Men and women think differently and process information differently.

    The woman's statement:
    I’m definitely the more intellectual person in the relationship and I’m at work full time while he is raising our daughter.
    “I think women probably always knew deep down that they were the more intelligent ones – but as the gentler sex we were quiet about it and let men continue to believe they ruled the world.”
    Is typical of modern women these days. So I must ask the question: If women are more intelligent then men as a whole, why has history not been radically different? It has nothing to do with being "kinder and gentler".

    Men and women are intelligent in different areas. To assume men are more intelligent than women, or vice versa is pure malarkey.

    "more intelligent" . . . at doing what? Sheer survival or happiness and thriving ?

    Now that women are being forced, with no "choice" at all, out of the "stay at home life" by more & more men - just like their fellow "progressive, modern" women counterparts proclaim they should - i'd say they've become generally better "task orientated" than us at working within "a system" the overall "direction, methods & goals" of which men, on the other hand, certainly find themselves starting to increasingly question & challenge instead.

    The official "war on women" is real - we didn't start it but does someone really need to end, put a finish to it ( or, like in international politics, has WAR indeed become our new norm, "way of life"?)

    Finding the right balance between home and family, and work and career, is a very real women's issue, and I have seen it approached in any number of ways, often with impressive results that neither marginalize the woman in question nor compromise her family life. It can be done, and is being done, and any argument saying men or patriarchy have somehow forced women into either role is spurious at best.

    Actually, the most liberated, empowered, successful, capable, at times downright fearsome women I have known have been mothers, homemakers, and traditionally-oriented toward parental roles for both parents, as well as at the same time holding top positions in education, banking, public service and small business; and I see little help from careerist, elitist feminist dogma coming their way, and often these women are the first ones to say exactly that.

    It seems feminst theorists have not resolved their own party-line posture on this after all these decades, and will elevate working women only to the extent that they can be named as victims, unless, of course, a woman can afford to send her children to elite private schools while she goes on to circumcise half of Africa...

    I held this ground in a number of threads on the Harvard Business Review blog site, and gained quite a few endorsements from working mothers in the process (until I was banned, that is, by the female-dominated editorial staff).

    This is a discussion I would like to see go into much greater depth, the elitist component of feminist social-engineering agenda.

    ROFLAO, while on topic check out The Pyramid Code, especially episode 4 currently on NetFlix, for an excellent discussion of modern day feminism's true historical precedents & philsophical roots. I think today's confusion between the sexes stems in part from the fact that the "myth of christainity" has done nothing but totally fog the issues at hand and now that it's been pretty much totally discredited we are on the verge of a wholly new paradigm that better seeks to "balance" and "incorporate" us both.

    As predicted in the bible the end-times of the "Age of Jesus" is fast approaching, the official date being 2150, and as we rediscover the "mysteries" of our ancient, more natural (so-called pagan) based Egyptian heritage perhaps the new "golden-age" of Aquarius will evolve, is yet to come?

    "Matriarchy" is NOT the opposite of "Patriarchy" . . . .
    but rather the union, incorporation of both the masculine & feminine elements into One.

    It is HOPE & IDEAS that drive history; and "elitist political authority" has always been monopolistic, in direct opposition to "the truth". Whether we actually survive the current ignorance & evil politics of today only time will tell.

    Women, due modern democracy, have done a pretty decent job at embracing their "opposing ideal of masculinity" but can us men say the same ? Having current supreme power over reproduction how can the masculine paradigm ever again hope to survive & thrive ? In Egyptian times it seems didn't take long (for the very first time?) before the reactionary "priestly class" suppression to kick in . . . ?

    Research has linked testosterone to intelligence before, thus making men more intelligent.

    I concede there are dumbasses in both genders. The only difference I have found, which is a constant, is navigating.

    Who are you addressing with your toxic and puerile response? If it's the previous posters on the thread, I'll treat it as a 'class action' personal attack, to which an infraction will inevitably follow.

    Yep, well the wanking bit.

    You see, I still have a penis to play with. I haven't been emasculated by feminists nor taught to hate penises like you.

    We see your hatred and inability to converse properly as pathetic, so nice to know we both have the same opinion of each other.

    Toodles.

    I think our troll (who other members informed me of aeons ago and has been monitored for a while) is simply hoping for a ban, but doesn't want to ask to be removed - instead it's using whatever it can to force an admins' hand.

    So rather than deleting his post history and banning... how about we simply delete the offensive posts as they occur.

    I suspect this will irritate her more than she can irritate us.

    The most offensive thing you can do to a feminist is treat her with FULL equality.
    Wife : "I dreamt they were auctioning off dicks. The big ones went for ten dollars and the thick ones went for twenty dollars."
    Husband : "How about the ones like mine?"
    Wife : "Those they gave away."
    Husband : "I had a dream too...I dreamt they were auctioning off pussy. The pretty ones went for a thousand dollars, and the little tight ones went for two thousand."
    Wife : "And how much for the ones like mine?"
    Husband : "That's where they held the auction."

    I understand, but for how long do we countenance such bad behaviour before it unduly encroaches on our members who abide by the rules and conduct themselves responsibly? I take people bad-mouthing the membership personally.

    That said, as you probably know, I've dished up a well-deserved infraction to him on another thread as a taster of intent.

    Just as with a rambunctious child without restraint, a line in the sand has to be drawn and examples made where necessary, so as to reestablish a working equilibrium.

    If program compliance and jumping though bureaucratic hoops is intelligence, then I suppose women are arguably smarter sometimes.

    But if solving real problems with real solutions is intelligence, my money would be on a man any time, any place.
