that is some of the stupidest shit ive ever read. 'feelings cloud their judgement', as if men have never made dumb ass decisions based on emotion rather than rationality. ofcourse women are just as smart and able as men. the only reason so many common and famous discoveries were made by men is becaus if a woman had done something smart at one point, it still wouldve been considered inadaquate. obviously we're not completely equal, like illlit said, there are things men are better at and things women are better at. but it balances out nonetheless. and statistics aside, i can pretty much firmly speak for everyone whos ever gone to highschool when i say girls did a hell of a lot better. there were fewer guys doing well, although the guys who did well did really well, most of the a students were girls. it may be inaccurate, but i always found it pretty common in any school i ever went to, rely on girls as your lab partner caus they got the shit done. hands down. saying girls arent as smart as men is bullshit becaus it doesnt constitute for the millions of women who are actually much smarter than most men. and to say 'their feelings cloud their judgement' is as ignorant and stereotypical as calling a black guy incapable of learning. those surveys arent fair as far as im concerned. there probably are a few guys out there who are smarter than everyone else on the planet, but theres only a few of them and a shitload women who top the runners up.
