Girls Are Smarter After All

and yet those with the big chest, small waist and big butt get anything they want! but they bleed every month, have about 1 out of 4 weeks in which they aren't full of hormones and constantly shouting at people, and and... they are nerds! even bigger ones then we are since no one who comes here is a straight A student...right? [just kidding]
 
Women are smarter at men across the board, eh? Tell that to the University of Missouri - Rolla's Engineering department... or any school's engineering department for that matter. At UMR, girl:guy ratio is 1:4 overall, 1:2 freshman year, declining to 1:8 for everyone senior and above.

Note that the smartest mathematician I know is a woman, but she is CLEARLY the exception to the rule.
 
As has already been mentioned, the trend of conformity and ease is spreading, so what used to just be seen as normal boy activity is now seen as a problem, and they get medicated with stuff that we still don't have any true long term data on. Short term data is promising and it allows parents to put their kids on an unnaturally even keel, so why not? If you can pop some pills into your kid and have him be "norma", do it!

Also, starting in the late 70's, there was all this media attention on girls falling behind and needing extra help to remain competitive scholasticly with boys. So all sorts of programs were started to help girls do what they were already doing: closing the education gap. And now, with all the emphasis on advancing girls, boys have slipped through the cracks. It's not PC to say that boys need help; hell, we live in a patriarchal society where males are the enemy, they can't possibly need help. So we're reaping the rewards on PC political movements putting on blinders where males are concerned.
 
eh? the 6:1 guy:girl ratio at Berkeley engineering says otherwise 🙁

guys tend to ramp up their abilities come high school. It takes a guy to understand that grades in elementary school don't matter 😛

Don't worry, we still get paid more, have better jobs, and don't have to suffer through old age. They get to deal with monthly bleeding, pregnancy, and being a woman.

Menopause, not being able to understand their own emotions, etc.
 
good article but its basically just common sense on the gap.

feminism
boys and girls learn and mature differently
no fathers around in many households
normal kids now have some type of disorder

this is all pretty much to be expected when schools and a politically correct society try to throw out the obvious differences between the sexes.
 
Men get paid more, can park/drive, don't have to give birth.
Men can look good even when they get wrinkles.
Men can grow facial hair (and be attractive with it)
Men don't have to shave legs/underarms
Males do worse in school because a lot of boys fück around trying to plough girls instead of working. They spend an awful lot of time looking at titties and/or ass. 😀
Girls look stupid doing most sports/being in a band so they might as well study.
I mean, fair enough a lot of opression etc influenced the reasons for these next things, but even so:
Einstein, Newton, Hawking, Norris, men have done so much for MANkind.

Still, I wouldn't like to sück that thing, and someone has to. 😉😛



 
And reading all of these smart comments by the boys on this forum, no wonder they are falling behind. They think they have all the answers. 😛
 
"If I miss a concept, they tell me, 'Figure it out yourself'," says Danny. Last year Danny's grades dropped from B's to D's and F's. The sophomore, who once dreamed of Stanford, is pulling his grades up but worries that "I won't even get accepted at community college."

Wtf, you don't get "accepted at community college".

Oh the irony.
 
I think female engineers congregate, I know university of toronto's chem eng is 60% female

I remember reading about the almost 40/60 guy/girl ratio in post-secondary school when I entered but when your taking physics and eng classes your more used to 80%+ guys in your class

and I abhorred 2 out the 3 female profs I had for core classes
 
but you can also blame the curriculum/ teachers for part of it

I did grade 11/12 english in one year, there was 14 guys and 2 girls in the class

our teacher had to massively restructure the course for us, we spent a month reading wuthering height

i remember in our poetry book there was this "poem" consisting of x's and o's
the questions afterwords were the best, it asked us "Is this a running or passing play, discuss"
we spent the whole class on the chalkboard arguing
 
Across the nation, educators are reviving an old idea: separate the girls from the boys?and at Roncalli Middle School, in Pueblo, Colo., administrators say, it's helping kids of both genders. This past fall, with the blessing of parents, school guidance counselor Mike Horton assigned a random group of 50 sixth graders to single-sex classes in core subjects. These days, when sixth-grade science teacher Pat Farrell assigns an earth-science lab on measuring crystals, the girls collect their materials?a Bunsen burner, a beaker of phenyl salicylate and a spoon. Then they read the directions and follow the sequence from beginning to end. The first things boys do is ask, "Can we eat this?" They're less organized, Farrell notes, but sometimes, "they're willing to go beyond what the lab asks them to do." With this in mind, he hands out written instructions to both classes but now goes over them step by step for the boys. Although it's too soon to declare victory, there are some positive signs: the shyest boys are participating more. This fall, the all-girl class did best in math, English and science, followed by the all-boy class and then coed classes.
 
Colleges would welcome more applications from young men like Rafael Mendez. At many state universities the gender balance is already tilting 60-40 toward women. Primary and secondary schools are going to have to make some major changes, says Ange Peterson, president-elect of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, to restore the gender balance. "There's a whole group of men we're losing in education completely," says Peterson.

soon we'll have quotas
 
I've always known women were smarter than men. IMO, they're also more devious. As Chris Rock said, men tell the most lies ("I was at Tony's house"), but women tell the biggest lies ("Its your baby").
