[QUOTE="Cube_of_MooN"]A "sex" is not more intelligent than another sex, a person is more intelligent than another. Sexism FTL...Cube_of_MooN

There are things men are better at then women, and there are things women are better at then men. To not admit this is to not face the truth. To make this slanderous is cowardly.

But the thread is about intelligence, not about what woman are better than men at, and vice versa... :|

And cowardly...?

If someone-- or a group of people-- has superior intelliegence, they are in some way better at thinking.

Yes, cowardly. Some people are too fearful of offending someone. So, instead of embracing differences, they make them out to be "wrong", "prejudiced", and "sexist".

I'm not afraid of offending anyone... In my mind, claiming one sex is inherintly more intelligent than another is mildly sexist. Don't confuse disagreement with cowardice...

The thread was about which gender is more intelligent. You can argue men are better than moman at math/science, and that's fine. Still, I do not think either gender is "better at thinking," that is just ridiculous.

You misunderstand my intentions. I am not asking which sex is inhertly more intelligent. A person of a particular sex will not automatically be unintelligent, and a person of the other intelligent. This is a question based on the good users of GameSpot's personal experience of which sex generally displays more intelligence.

This is not meant to offend anyone, nor is its purpose to be sexist in any way.

In your experience, which sex do you find to be more intelligent, males or females? If you would, please also state your reasoning and sex.

Personally, I've met more smart girls than guys. And keep it that way! I feel all warm and fuzzy being around smart girls :)

I don't think it has anything to do with sex.

A person's gender does not effect intelligence whatsoever, IMO.

Men are generally more logical and mathematical thinkers and women are better writers and such. That's just what I've noticed. It also seems to me that the smartest people are men, but there are more average smart women. I guess that's just based on the teachers at my school mostly.

I'm awful at math, but an excellent writer. I'm a guy.
