Re: WOMEN should NEVER be allowed to leave the house!

As a women, i kindly disagree

That is because you are not smart enough to understand what is going on here. Also there is nothing kind about your rude and unsolicited attack against my Biblically and scientifically proven facts.

women have a nearly identical range of intellectual capabilities

No they have not. Not even close.

• Let's take chess, a game that requires great intelligence. As of May 2013 the best female (Judit Polgár) has a ELO rating of 2696. There are currently over 50 (!) men who have a higher ELO rating. The best man being Magnus Carlsen having an ELO rating of 2868.
• Best dead scientist? Albert Einstein, a man. Best living scientist? Stephen Hawking, a man.
• There has NEVER been a woman getting the most difficult Math's Fields Medal.
• A team of psychologists at Edinburgh University has made a discovery which, for many of us, will not be very surprising. That is, that the number of super-intelligent men is much much higher than that of super-intelligent women. Something that is also reflected in statistics gathered by Mensa.

Game over. God wins.

Ah, its refreshing to see that immense immaturity and blatant sexism is still the norm of this site.

While the ELO rating is considered accurate, a 200 point lead is actually not too much. A 100 point lead means that the person will win over the other 65% of the time, a 200 point lead means 70% chance of winning. And other factors to consider. Chess is a game that relies some on spacial awareness, something that i already said men are supperior at (at a cost of the ability to interpret feelings which is held by women). In addition, many women may not like chess to much, it is a sport advertised on mass media as a male sport which does affect who plays it.

Best dead scientist? Albert Einstein, a man. Best living scientist? Stephen Hawking, a man.

When you assign values like "best", then the subject is open to opinion. Another valid person to consider the best dead scientist would be Marie Curie, the person who discovered radiation. It is largely argued that the only reason Albert Einstein is so much more famous is that his best equation is easy to remember (some equations are enormous)

There has NEVER been a woman getting the most difficult Math's Fields Medal.

A factor you have not considered for this is that since universal womens education is relatively new, its unlikely that many women who had potential to do that were not educated to be able to.

A team of psychologists at Edinburgh University has made a discovery which, for many of us, will not be very surprising. That is, that the number of super-intelligent men is much much higher than that of super-intelligent women. Something that is also reflected in statistics gathered by Mensa.

My most recent IQ test recorded a value of 140. My best fiend has an IQ of 134. Give me a link to this study, until so, i am inclined to disagree with you.

Re: WOMEN should NEVER be allowed to leave the house!

I'm a woman, I leave my house anytime I want, in fact I spend almost all day in college, sometimes with my friends and others I go out somewhere with my dad. I know I'm smart, when I graduated from school and before enter to college I had the best grades of my group, and yes, I had male classmates, so understand that women can be intelligent too, hating and denigrate them is not gonna help it, and before I forgot, I'm not a lesbian, I'm not a tomboy and I don't hate men, I'm just myself, I don't live for nobody, just for me and God of course, and if he gave a brain, is my obligation using it

Duh! They are not smart enough for it and dislike getting humiliated all the time.

The media influences only those who are too stupid to use their own brain. A.k.a. women. You will never see a man waste a second on something utterly pointless as Oprah or Dr. Phil.

Radiation has been around for thousands of years. Did she also "discover" The Sun? Also dying from radiation doesn't exactly qualify as scientific research. It's just recorded stupidity.

I apologize, my password was reset without my knowledge so I had to make a new account. And now to my response.

Okay, after that prediction, i offer another. Chess tends to not often be offered to girls. Thus, more boys learn to play it and thus there tend to be more good boy players.

Radiation has been around for thousands of years. Did she also "discover" The Sun? Also dying from radiation doesn't exactly qualify as scientific research. It's just recorded stupidity.

Radiation has been around for as long as the universes existence, but so was relativity, and Einstein is famous for discovering it. Marie Curie was a scientist and specifically studied the origins of x-rays that seemed to come from uranium in some way. Through research, she discovered that it does not come from a breakdown of the molecule, but the atom itself. Unfortunately, this was a time before the dangers of radiation were known and her research in the end killed her, like many other scientists before and after her.

Google is beyond your intelligence?

The ability to use it, no. But I am asking you so I do not gave to look through every web site on the planet, something no one has the intelligence to figure out. Google is itself named after the number googol which is 10^100 (one with one hundred zeros), a number beyond everyone's intelligence.

You may claim that women are as clever as men but I have yet to hear of a woman who can pass the Alan Turing test.

The Alan Turning test is a test meant for computers to test to see how human like they can behave. In theory, every human should pass this test, and last I checked, I am human. Unless you are refering to female computers, every woman would pass this test.

How could a female be a computer? It is well known that women are not good at maths. How many Steven Hawkings of Roger Fenmans are girls?

Girls are better at raising kids, I agree. But put them in a situation where they need to make any REAL decisions and they get caught up in internal design and baby clothes.

It's just science.

To counter that, here is a short list of the many notable female mathematicians.

Mary Cartwright
Marie Curie
Sarah Flannery
Susan Howson
Evelyn Nelson

I myself have studied AB calculus and plan to learn BC calculus next year.

Males and females have just about equal intellectual skills. Males have more ability to resolve spacial things but females have a greater capacity to interpret and connect with emotions.

So men can build bridges and women cry a lot. Only a woman could conclude these to be equal skills. Perhaps instead of crossing a bridge, next time just cry a river.

Again your sub par intelligence seems to be preventing you from using Google. But then again, even without Google a 2 year old child could figure out it means Yours In Christ. Not you though, as you have an IQ of 140...

I don't see how my views on equality make you angry but its pretty evident that it does. Spacial skills do not necessarily include building things, its more about how things fit together. And tests where that was involved showed that the difference is not very much, so is the emotion interpretation difference. The specific IQ test that I got the 140 score on was one involving spacial reasoning, there are exceptions to every rule. Just as there are likely men who can interpret emotions better than me. In addition, you seem to be unaware of what emotional interpretation is. Its not being emotional, as is the thing you described, but is having a greater ability to determine anothers emotions.

I apologize, I have been busy lately. Exams are over but I have started a project observing the Galilean moons of Jupiter. I have not had a lot of time to do this and did not spend very much time thinking about it.
