According to a newspaper article I just read it states that boys are smarter than girls!? I agree perhaps in some areas such as math but, not overall. What do you think?

That's a complete myth, most likely perpetrated by those that have an investment in people believing it's true. It's quite galling really.

I don't think that is true! They been saying the opposite in the paper too (read it about 2 month ago). I think it is too broad and pretty much ridiculous.

That news article was probably written by a man. I disagree that boys are smarter than girls. There are some very intelligent people of both genders. What was his basis for that conclusion? I think it is probably just his opinion.

No way I think women are smarter otherwise men would have had figured out how to find directions by now or atleast could prepare a decent meal in the kitchen and keep it clean too. They would have figured out by now that to watch several people running after a single ball is actually a total waste of time and not too great a way to spend a whole afternoon when so much work is required to be done around the house. I found this really interesting fact file have a look http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7478/womensma.htm excerpt: Think about it, guys. How do you make your muscles stronger? Exercise them. Our brains are the same way. But when it comes to so many things in life, men's brains are warming the bench while women's brains are getting a full cardiovascular workout. Men have ONE shoe size. I'm a 10.5 wide. Simple. Women... well it depends. They're like astrologers doing a natal chart on the shoe. Where was it made? Who made it? Was it made in the winter or spring? What was the geographic elevation of the shoe factory? Was the leather from a happy or a sad cow? Eventually they find a pump with Neptune in its 4th house and the shoe-shopping mission has been completed.

I have never ever heard anything like that before. Based on what? how did they arrive at that conclusion? I do not think that is correct. I need prof to believe that. Was the article written by a man?
