Whompt Wrote:Actually, I think it has more to deal with the way our minds are organized. Prior to puberty, boys and girls think pretty much the same, but afterwards things tend to shift. Women operate more on emotion than men do, typically. Don't shoot me ladies. As such, women tend to rock the art, writing, and basically being awesome at anything creative. Men, on the other hand, operate more logically. Hear me out! While we do well with math and stuff afterwards, we also tend to only work well within well-defined boundaries. We thrive on rules and structure.
Women tend to be awesome multitaskers. Men... not so much. The difference is that a man will do one job excellently, while a women will do a bunch of jobs well.
I'm probably the most hated guy here now.
That's just the case in the status quo.
There's a lot to be said for how our society expects us to act and how we conform to that role. Throwing around generalizations as fact can be really damaging for everybody because it limits the roles people are "allowed" to pursue (this goes both ways). What do you tell a little boy that scuffed his knee? "Boys don't cry." Eventually that gets internalized, and you have men who are afraid to show emotions. Girls are allowed to (or rewarded for) crying, so women are more comfortable expressing their emotions. Cause and effect.
Again, research shows that, if there is even a biological difference in intelligence/behavior, it's pretty much negligible. The differences arise as a result of our society.
That being said:
