I will give you this one thing- I will say that on the whole, women are slightly more intelligent than the average man. I will accept this as a fact, because it is one. But it goes much deeper than that- let me explain. If Intelligence were to be rated on a scale of one to ten (I know IQ can be used, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll use the scale), where one is Profound Mental Retardation and a ten is a Genius, and five is average, most women would be about a 5.5 to a 6. Most men would be a 4.5-5. The average woman is a bit more capable with raw mental capacity. Lets narrow it down. Lets look at the overall spectrum. You will find many more men down near the one's and two's than you will women. One-Three will be almost exclusively men, yes. But people never seem to realize that 9-10 are almost exclusively male. Great Geniuses are almost always men. Most very brilliant people are men. There are many brilliant women too, but the world of exceptional intelligence is dominated by men.
