men are better at everything and women should stay in the kitchen and make babies.
but seriously, there's no real evidence that suggests anything one way or the other. historically, men have made more scientific discoveries because men have had more access to the facilities needed to make such discoveries. women are equally capable.

Interesting.... I thought you had to be in it to win it. Now there are some contradicting studies mentioned by other answerers, so lets take a snapshot of the real world, today, as of this academic year at my son's college.Unscientific approach, but very interesting. My son has just started his A'Level courses including Maths, Chemistry and Physics. As of today, September 2008, In his Maths class of 20 students, there are only 2 male students (18 female) in his Chemistry class of 18 only 5 are males but in his Physics class of 25 there are 21 males. In his Year at school the GCSE results top grades were nearly ALL girls in ALL subjects. This is almost the total opposite picture of when you and I grow up Twig. Now, they changed the maths and science courses for my daughter's year, she is one academic year behind. In maths they have removed the assessed coursework modules. Coursework typically advantages females. It will be interesting to do another snapshot and ask this question again next year to see if this very unscientific representation shows up in the numbers doing the same subjects in her first week of College.

I've been a math teacher for more than twenty years, and I really haven't noticed much difference in intelligence between the sexes. Boys are often more interested in careers involving math and science, but I wouldn't say they are really better at actually doing it. What I have noticed is that everyone learns differently, and people who try to make generalizations fail to realize that.

this is a common stupid excuse given by men to prove their supremacy over opposite gender both are equally good at maths and sciences and girls are better in languages as they have better expression powers
