Majority of girls study better than men but majority genius people are men

I hope majority of girls do well, but most of genius people are boys, if look back to history we could see many inventions and other academic findings are done mostly by men. May be in long run girls just go back, especially after marriage and children. Still men get their time to be totally involved in their work. I feel that men are much objective types in their studies and women much of elaborate type. At times I feel that girls do need to be given chances to prove their quality. How do you feel on this……

Actually, we don't know that most geniuses are boys. One thing about history is women didn't have the opportunity to make their genius known. All we can say for a fact is that we know more of the male geniuses because they had the opportunities to develop and people took them seriously. We can't say that because we don't know about the female ones, that means they didn't exist. Who knows how many women with absolutely brilliant minds never got the chance to go down in history because they weren't allowed to study certain subjects or weren't taken seriously? You can't just look at numbers in this case and say here's a list of men and here's a list of women and there are more men on the list so that says there are more male geniuses. That ignores the inequality women have been through in history. And people should do searches specifically for female inventors, scientists, writers, explorers. You'd probably see a lot more than you realize. But, they don't get mentioned (except a select few) unless people are making a point to showcase them. Just because you don't know about them doesn't mean they didn't and don't exist. That goes for the unknown male geniuses. You don't become a genius after you do something to make you famous. The genius was there to begin with. Even if no one knows about it.

Nice observation shamrack. I do believe that men are more intelligent but women are more diligent. And like they always say, behind every great man is a great woman.

and a number of times it has turned out that the achievements of the 'great man' were actually achievements of the woman behind him.

Hello Sham, Girls are hard workers than boys. They can sit and do their studies well so academically they can shine better. Since the education system is just like by-hearting the lessons they can do well with exams. Obviously they will score better marks in exam. By boys are lazy to sit with their studies, may be they are smart on applying their brain.

I agree. In fact girls have the perfect qualities to become better in life. There are also female scientists, doctors. So this proves that they can also be as good as men or even better.

Yeah I am totally agree with you that men are smarter than women. But however, since I am a man, I will not unfair. Maybe in one side, men are smarter because they do exercise their mind in their workplace. While, women stay at home caring the children which doesn't exercise their mind to the fullest. I do suggest that don't become jealous, because as we go back, women were came from men "Adam and Eve". So definitely, what has men accomplish, you are part of it!

wow, no wonder your rating here on mylot is a 2. That is a very sexist comment. In the united states most woman actually work instead of taking care of children and since when is caring for children not excersing your mind?? It takes intelligence to raise healthy, smart, and happy children. As for your bibical take on women being infer to men, thats ridiculous. Women have lots of accomplishments without men being involved. You are using the bible to put woman down, which in my opinion is very hypocritical. IF you are so religious you should not be judging others. As for me, your argument falls on deaf ears, I am agnostic. I hope that when you obtain a wife you treat her with more respect than your comment treats the women here on mylot.

Well, seems like men are better in logical matter like math, physics or sains, they have quicker ability to understand the whole process than women. But one article said that men usually only can focus on one job per time, while woman can do multitasking job. It says that men and woman actually have different tipe of brain, women have a kind of brain juction between right and left part that enable them to do more than one task per time. Let's take a housewife as example. They can do baby sitting while they cook plus clean up the house at the same time easily, isn't that incredible! Even so, this world was created in balance, men and women were created with their own strenght and weakness. You said majority of girls study better, I agree with that. Not because I'm a women :p, but I belive that this dilligent attitude was a gift from God so all of women can achieve as much as what men can do.

Hi shamrack, Most of the inventions were made when literacy among women were either a far cry thing or was too limited. Now we see many of our counterparts doing research and other major works in almost all fields and even if they would not equal men in the quantity game their number would surely increase. That girls study well and show better result but mostly men are genius. This is so because girls mainly depend on cramming and boys on apprehension and understanding the matter and they reproduce them in their own way.

no, both of these things are nothing to do with one gender being more intelligent than the other but are cultural. in the past it was not acceptable for women to do certain things. the reason most of these inventions and discoveries were made by men was not because women weren't equally capable but because very few would get involved in academic areas that women were not supposed to. they also would not have got the education that would have even made this possible. the reason, now, that boys are falling behind girls in schools, is also sociological. it is acceptable for girls to study hard and achieve academically but many boys avoid this for fear of being seen as geeks by their peers. the first doesn't prove men are more intelligent and the second does not prove that girls are more intelligent or naturally work harder. it is all cultural.

Men and women do seem to have different study habits. oddly enough, they are usually after some of the same goals. There are just different ways of attaining them. both men and women can achieve. they just choose different paths for their journey.

I guess that was during the time when women are not allowed to do things that could make them great. But today, women excel in many fields and are more recognized by their talents and intelligence because there are no more restrictions and limitations on what they can do and offer for the betterment of the world.
