Yes, I did.
Obviously you assume too much.
Try again.
So some people are somehow saying that women are smarter than men

No, in this thread, elsewhere on this site, and in week to week interactions.
Are you suggesting that my post should include things which are only directly mentioned in the OP?
WHY??
Do you not see how this ties into the OP??
Look at the title of this freaking thread. It's obviously agenda driven, and not scientific.

Is it possible that the IQ tests have become easier? School tests are, "no child left behind" saw to that. I don't believe people are getting smarter, our toys are getting better and that is dumbing us down.edit on 25-12-2012 by 1/2 Nephilim because: (no reason given)

The brain is made primarily of two different types of tissue, called gray matter and white matter. This new research reveals that men think more with their gray matter, and women think more with white. Researchers stressed that just because the two sexes think differently, this does not affect intellectual performance.
Psychology professor Richard Haier of the University of California, Irvine led the research along with colleagues from the University of New Mexico. Their findings show that in general, men have nearly 6.5 times the amount of gray matter related to general intelligence compared with women, whereas women have nearly 10 times the amount of white matter related to intelligence compared to men.

The results from this study may help explain why men and women excel at different types of tasks, said co-author and neuropsychologist Rex Jung of the University of New Mexico. For example, men tend to do better with tasks requiring more localized processing, such as mathematics, Jung said, while women are better at integrating and assimilating information from distributed gray-matter regions of the brain, which aids language skills.
Scientists find it very interesting that while men and women use two very different activity centers and neurological pathways, men and women perform equally well on broad measures of cognitive ability, such as intelligence tests.

Now I don't stand even a remote chance with any of them anymore.
So yes, I agree, they seem to have gotten much smarter since then.
