Report Claims Men More Intelligent Than Women
Jeremy Dean writes "In controversial research reported all over the place, Richard Lynn, the emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University claims that, on average, men are more intelligent than women. Let battle commence!
As the research is not yet published there's nothing more to go on than the press reports. The co-author of the study, Dr Irwing, a senior lecturer in organisational psychology at Manchester University, is apologetic about the findings.
In the BBC News report he states that the paper will go on to argue that despite their disadvantage in IQ, there is evidence that women utilise their (lesser!) talents better than men. This simply begs the question of what use IQ tests are if they don't predict anything in the real world."
Well, I'm going to be one of the 1st to say that I've known this for a long time
*SMACK*
Girlfriend: "Get back in line you stupid male."
Me: "Yes ma'am"
Sincerely,

...I can only imagine how many women are going to protest this. On the same key, if there was a report that said women are smarter then men, most likely we would just accept it, or ignore it, and continue to put together the desk without directions.

But, by god, we aren't going to let that stop us, are we?!
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Phew, some male researches are not getting "any" from their wives or significant-others for the next week! :)
It's comments like that, that make up 99% of the *SINGLE* guys on slashdot....go figure!
I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn.
That's what kind of man I am.
You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us.
It's science.

We have secretly replaced these Slashdot mods' sense of humor with a rusty nail. Let's see if they notice!!
Why can't I get paid to spout idiotic claptrap all day?
You haven't made management yet?
KFG
Oh, you mean you really *can't* read minds? Silly men. I guess we gals just take that ability for granted.
Of course men are more intelligent! We have TWO brains!

Clearly this study is false. Otherwise, the comments on Slashdot would be far more intelligent.
But I think that women are far more cunning.
Of the married people I know, about 95% of the women are 'in charge.' Maybe the guys walk around and think they are running the show, but when it comes down to it, it is typically the woman.
It's probably a good thing too...I would do far more stupid stuff if my wife wasn't there to tell me what a stupid idea it was.
On the other hand, I would have a lot more fun...
It's like your mom telling you to wear a sweater. It's not fun, but you'll be a lot more comfortable if you listen.
No reason to lie.

gag one:
I, for one, welcome our new male overlords.... wait..."new"?
gag two:
If only there were some sexy chicks to say say gag one without the last bit, but I am afraid the situations a lot more grim that that. For one, no women will say that. And two, even if they did, it wouldn't be to anyone on slashdot.
gag three:
You know how there is a "womyn's room" in every uni? The idea being it's women without the "men". I want you to set up a "myn's" club in your local uni - our catchphrase will be "putting the myn back in womyn". Spread the meme.

Reminds me of a joke:
Q: Why do men die before their wives?
A: Because they want to.
When you get married, you will realize that this is in fact sad, but true.
it is only after a long journey that you know the strength of the horse.
Ahem.
Knowledge is power. Knowledge shared is power multiplied.
When my mom asks what I did today at work, and I say that I developed some mixin classes in Java because it does not support multiple inheritance unlike other object oriented frameworks and used generics because I want my compiler to catch some casting errors at compile-time rather than run-time because the application runs in a networked environment lossy at the transport layer and where distributed debugging is hard although Apache log4j helps and it's the best I can do because my boss wouldn't allow me to use Python which is dynamically typed and shares the same garbage collection facilities as Java which I think is of the generational variety although I haven't disassembled to find out and has wonderful functional programming elemets built in like anonymous methods and the Mersenne Twister random number generator built right-in that has a 623-dimensionally equidistributed uniform distribution... She starts complaining about headaches and how she doesn't get it.
Then I ask my dad if he wants more elaboration, but he just shakes his head and turns away, because he OBVIOUSLY gets it.
QED!

If your niece is still fairly young, tell her to turn off her TV. Throw out her Hollywood-preaching magazines. Tell her to grab a physics book, the works of Plato, or some other intellectual material for her to read and contemplate. Get her involved in sports. Teach her about camping and farming. Please, help your niece before it's too late.

When I got married, I told my wife
"OK, from now on, I'll make all the hard decisions, and you'll just make all the easy decisions."
Since then, we haven't had a single hard decision to make yet.

Bingo! I wish someone would do a study on how often that happens. And rated the papers by how often they did it. *That* would be a metric worth seeing. Of course, few papers would report it...
What you do with a computer does not constitute the whole of computing.
So, when you're banging her doggie style, grunt like you're coming, then pull out and spit on her back. Male orgasm faked.
Pwned.
I am a hermaphrodite.
... that I am smarter than her. Maybe she is right, maybe she is not.
But few would debate the fact that she is the superior human being.
Men
- men orgasm before sex is complete (woman need to do it before the man... or no chance).
- men make women cook... woman just do it
- men encourage woman to shave sensitive areas... we refuse.
Woman
- hold men hostage by their penis
- can be a bitch a few days a month, and blame it on biologicial processes (and blame men somehow)
- scream for equal rights... except when the draft comes around... then "gender roles are essential in society".
- can orgasm in the shower without getting a cramp from stroking (damn waterpik's).
Lived with quite a few, too. They averaged 1.5 hours a day on bathroom tasks (don't ask me WHAT they're doing in there - if they're bringing in a book I'm wrong) while I spend that time on logic, number theory and combinatorics. Is it any surprise that I'm a tad smarter than they are, when they spend all of that time dousing themselves in antibiotics while I'm enriching my brain?
cheap labor conservatives - they want to keep you hungry enough to be thankful for minimum wage.
Of course not, were smarter than that!

HexaByte - he's a square and a half!
Booyakasha. E-man indahouse aiii. Big shout out ta mi Slashdottas massiv wit a capital S, coz slashdot iz a place izznit - u see I aint no ignoramus. Things like 'apple' and 'orange' do not start wit a capital letter, unless dey iz at de start of a sentence - but some of you brainboxes probably already know dat already innit. Me name be Albert E and me represent de USA. For those of u who didn't study geography de USA is a place over a 100 MILES wide, de capital of it iz? Anyone? Not u geography square! ....yes, it is New York. U iz clever and quite fly if u don't mind me sayin.
First of all, I iz got to say I iz a bit nervous speakin to so many of you - at least me would be if I weren't totally mashed. In da past, de only public-speaking I does is to a couple peoplez, and it's well easy all me has to say iz me name and de words 'nicht ein Jude'.
Anyways I digest. . To fink dat so many great people has been called smart like Lyndon Banes Johnson, or as he is better known - JFK, Newton was also smart I fink, and also...William Tell - is he one of those smart guyz, probably, and dat bloke wiv de hat, but most importantly dat really fit honey from who did da work on Radium - if u iz out dere, me'd love to - me iz stayin at de Best Western Hotel - me's got a really nice room, altho since dis morning dem has put a parental lock on de tv.
Anyways, me be thinking dat de smart people are really dumb, like, f'in those guys wit da bag on theys heads whos always botherin me an my honeys as we walk down by da park, about Jesus and angry beez and tings like dat. For those of u who studying people and categories in college, you probably already learned that they be called homeless, because de dont have any home or so de media would like u ta believe, an top scientists like me homies work night and day to figur out where de brainz went. De got dis wikid box dat makes pictures from shootin invisible laser-rays in they eyes and out da back like from Star Wars and sht.
But really, ya know, sometimes me tink that i like dem too. I mean, I smart in some ways - I brilliant at counting - ye know, 1, 2, 3...4... I could continue, easy. I memorized da whole alphabet 'a to x' and can even spell words like "hippopotamus". But I cant even figure out dis whole quantum uncertainty thing, and I cant find me car keys, and where we at rite now?
As it iz, I look out and I see 1000s of people who iz smarter den me in de brains and all - but it is important never to forget where u all came from - becoz black, white, brown or pakistani we all come from de same place - de punani. Jah bless - bigupyaself Slashdot...and keep it real... wesside."
Rock Us, Dukakis.
Oh yeah, Slashdot's a fair place to have this argument. Men outnumber women about 100:1 around here.
As if the argument wasn't already skewed enough, it's completely unfair since we're smarter than them.
Can anyone tell me how to set my sig on Slashdot?

"However, the first suggestion that the perceived majority group (straight white males) might be better than any minority, at anything, threatens us - just listen to the knee-jerk reaction of almost-unanimous disapproval."
Straight white males may be the perceived majority, but in western society, the majority of the people in charge (business leaders and politicians) are CROOKED white males.

No I didnt spell check this post...
The answer is...horny! And I don't even have to know the dude.

I never spellcheck and I freely admit it. Save your karma for more worthwhile "lol erorrs" replies
Untill those 'blah', 'foo' and 'x' are defined the statement will make no sense."
"Blah" is the sound one makes after putting bad tasting food into his mouth.
"Foo" is the word an older woman uses when her husband trys to tell her something that she thinks is not true, as "Oh, foo to you!"
"x",unfortunately, is an unknown, and can never be defined, meaning that that we will be forced into an eternity of not knowing what intelligence really is.
I completely agree.
:-)
As a side note I would like to point that if women _were_ smarter than men, most of the male readership of Slashdot would never get laid. Oh, wait, that already is the case !
Every girlfriend I've had has been less intelligent than me.
I mean, come on, they dated me .
