Who's the smarter sex? Women surpass men on IQ test scores
Women have some new evidence to support the claim that men are generally not as brainy as they think they are.
In April,Straight reporter Carlito Pablo wrote an article examining whether this generation of young people is smarter than previous generations.
It was based on the research of James Flynn, a New Zealand academic who has demonstrated that average intelligence-quotient test scores rose throughout the 20th century.
Now, Flynn has revealed that women's scores have risen more rapidly to the point where they have exceeded the guys for the first time in a century.
He made this revelation in an interview with Britain's Sunday Times, basing this conclusion on research conducted in western Europe, Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Argentina, and Estonia.
"As the world gets more complex, and living in it demands more abstract thought, so people are adapting," Flynn told the Sunday Times. "This improvement is more marked for women than for men because they were more disadvantaged in the past."
Flynn’s book, Are We Getting Smarter? Rising IQ and the Twenty-First Century, is expected to be available in August.

Men have kept women down, and disadvantaged, in utter FEAR and DENIAL of their greater intelligence and supremacy. But the times they are a changin'!!
I'm glad I saw this, though, because it just got my blood warmed up for some more serious activism.
but generally - woman think and men act .
The current public education system disenfranchises boys to the point where anything to do with school - except for partying and getting in shit etc - is a negative thing.
Thus the results. But I don't think "smarter" is word to use here, "more academically knowledgeable" would be more accurate.

because of your comparability, you give no hope to men. today's men live in a society in which people encourage them to become emasculated, because of all their "deficiencies". encourage them to be dumb because of - "men are dumber than women", probably the most stupid statement i have heard in my life. it's like autosuggestion, the more you repeat it the more you'll believe in it.
not to mention that the IQ test is a total bullshit. i can increase my "IQ" with 15 supplemental point just by learning memorization's techniques.
if you have to yell something over and over to get people to believe it, it's not worth believing in..
the truth cannot be denied, whereas lies must be constantly upheld or they will wither away...
we must be constantly told that women are just as smart as men, or the mirage will die.
we must be constantly reminded how wonderful it is to be an individual standing apart from everyone else, or the delusional will crumble..
we must be constantly reminded that men are nothing more than mules to haul the baggage of the aristocratic vagina.....
or one day.... men will wake up.
A couple of years ago, I volunteered for a UBC research project in neuropsychological assessment. I scored above average or superior in some categories, but so what, I'm well read.

The end game is always the same.
They scream and cry when you start to massage another ones brain.
Because they are sooo much smarter than you are.
Tokenism, Opportunism, and Hypocrisy...the actors change, but the script always remains the same.
But utopia always seems well within reach, doesn’t it?
It’s a necessary delusion.
That’s all.
