When men say they are smarter, they are called sexist. But today when women say they are smarter than men, why is that not considered sexist?

The whole idea of being a "sexist' is dumb! Why can't we just enjoy the differences in each other, individually? Some women are smarter, some men are smarter! Generally speaking, we are all smarter in one thing or another, as we're all different.
Why can't everyone just have the chance to be what they are, and not worry about being sexist?

Saying any distinct type of human being is better or smarter is discriminatory. Women are not smarter than men nor men smarter than women. The study of the brain is still in it's infancy and we know so little about it, to make any conclusive statement like that. Also, just as in anything there are those that have a greater talent than others even within the same gender-type. So, the statement, even if true, could only be mentioned in a very general sense, it's like saying all men are stronger than women, which isn't true.

It's sexist both ways. All women are going to think that all women are smarter, and all men are going to think that all men are smarter. I believe that men and women are of equal intelligence. However, men use their brains in different ways than women. For example, men are generally better at understanding math, while women are better at communicating.

Men can't say they are smarter because it's so... typical. We live in a patriarchal society, like it or not. For many centuries women have been struggling to be 'equal' with men.... in my opinion all this while they are equal! We just have different functions in society, and who's to say women can't do what men can and vice versa? It's all in the mind.
