Are girls smarter than boys

Answer 1

There is no consistent intellectual superiority seen by either gender.

However, clinical studies over the years have demonstrated a divergence in some cultures. They found that females excelled in some mental abilities, while males excelled in others. This varied widely according to the methodology used, and almost all of the conclusions have been debated.

Answer
Boys = Some are smart however, some are not. Boys tend to hold back and use less of their brains than girls. Their behaviour doesn't accurately reflect what they are capable of - So I guess the smarter ones are girls.

Girls = Like boys, some are smart; some are dumb. Girls have the ability to multi-task, they tend to focus more and they tend to do better in school, this is a proven fact - more girls finish school and go to college/uni than boys.

So - Girls are more smarter than boys!

Answer
Research has shown that women and girls are smarter. The brain of women is used differently by women and they use more parts at the same time than men/boys do. This is one reason they can multi task. When the brain was compared in imaging it was found that men only show movement in one section of the brain at a time while women light up in several sections.

Answer
I dont think there is evidence either way, although I think boys brains are slightely bigger.

Well it depends on if he or she pays attention in school.

Answer to above: Most girls in school just wanna focus on keeping a relationship and having sex. It would be hard to find a girl "nerd". Most of the guys i know care about their marks and you would find a lot of guy "nerds". Males are known to have developed society by making companies, governments and restoring order after the dark ages. Girls were usually the people that were forced to stay home and in turn they did not have that much experience in the workforce. When you grow up, you would think that your own gender is the best because you usually spend time with someone of the same gender. When girls grow up, they look at their moms staying home all day so they get influenced. When boys grow up, they look at all of the males in society so they get happy because they are dominant in this world. Males grow up to get jobs (i don't know any male that stays at home unless he has an injury) and females grow up having to look after children. I heard of this girl who said in some forum " females are better because we have scholarships that are only for girls". My reply to that would be that for thousands of years, we had scholarships only meant for boys. Girls could not even go to school. Now that females are more oriented, companies offer programs just for them because they cannot achieve the normal one. Imagine a female getting a scholarship for athletics! There would be so many males in her school that there would be a small chance of a female being recognized. Since everyone would feel bad for them, they made a scholarship just for girls because they cannot achieve the NORMAL one. Dont think that this means females are more recognized. And to people that say that females are better because they can have babies, you need sperm from men to make the babies! Its impossible to get the sperm without men! Females in GENERAL are not smarter then boys in GENERAL.
