True to a certain extent Sotos, but not about the point you make about men being smarter than women, because it had been found that men and women literally do think differently and that men have more Grey matter where as women have more white matter, and that average IQ is equal among men and women... :wink: 8)
So men and women appear to use their brains differently in some situations. Does that make any difference in how smart they are?

The short answer is no. Average IQ is the same among men and women.

Generally, white matter can be understood as the parts of the brain and spinal cord responsible for information transmission (axons); whereas, grey matter is mainly responsible for information processing (neuron bodies).

My dear, I do not doubt that you're a sweetie pie but I also notice that your overpopulated brain could not accommodate the correct spelling of the simple word "shit"... :(
