women aren't as funny as men, is it because humor and intelligence are related? alsoWhy do women hate me for telling them the truth about themselvs?

If you knew me, and you were a woman you would characterize me as sexist and other boring words, but really I am just being fair to you being honest and saying what all men already know.
You generally are less smart than the average man and the sooner you will learn to accept it, the less rage you will feel every time someone throws this fact in your face. you have other qualities that are very useful so stop being jealous, I don't hear you complain when I say women are better at communication than men right? so enough with the double standards!!

Not really. Maybe it's because men are pushed to be more innovative and to take leadership positions, so they end up doing more noteworthy stuff and therefore can appear smarter. But even average IQs for men and women are pretty similar.
Also, women are better at communication on average because they're being socialized differently. Females are taught to take care of others, hence why they develop better communication skills.
People aren't born into their gender roles, a big part of it is how they're socialized.

@anatomicdeadspace Totally disagree... your gender played a huge roll in who you will become, maybe a bit because of culture and mostly it is because of the biological differences between men and women. IQ btw Is a poor measure of intelligence. men are leaders because its in their biological nature and they are more innovative because this is how their brain works. we are not built the same and chemically we are very different, its not a crime to say and think this way + women are good at other things

You can affirm that if you want but it remains an opinion with nothing to really back up your claims.
Do you have actual proof that there are significant cerebral differences between both genders right from the beginning ? It could very well be cerebral plasticity since the human brain is highly adaptable to its environment.

@anatomicdeadspace I actually read a book about it, its called "the female brain" by M.D. Louann Brizendine. I recommend it although it is also written by a woman who is biased against men.

@damagedsoul The fact that there are cerebral differences would make sense, considering that neural pathways rearrange themselves according to the input we receive, especially during childhood. So it still doesn't deny how the social part plays a big role.
As for hormones, yes they do play a role to some extent. But studies still suggest that humans are profoundly social beings, and that the social modality will overcome purely biological determination. For instance, when women were administrated testosterone, they only acted more aggressively when they were told that this was testosterone even when they were administrated a placebo being passed off as testosterone. When testosterone was presented as something else, they didn't react much differently than they normally would.

So yes, there are probably some biological differences and cerebral/ hormonal fluctuations which are a certain way on average for both genders. But society is pretty much built on gender roles and in order to make people conform to them, it exaggerates and generalizes tendencies which may have already been present between genders.
