According to studies over the past centuries, men are more successful in achievement and they are more likely to receive awards for new developments and discoveries.
But does this mean that they are smarter?
From time immemorial, the woman was the keeper of the hearth. She got married, gave birth and raised children, waited for her husband at home. And she didn't have much time left for career or research exploits.
It remains behind the scenes that the woman, most likely, gave her husband advice and saw the situation from the outside. Thanks to her advice and support, the man achieved success. But, all the laurels are taken by the one who has achieved success.
And what will happen if we completely plant men at home? On the farm and with children. There are not many jobs left that a woman cannot do. And for hard work, so be it, we will leave the men "dowries", those who did not start a family.
Society will treat them with disdain, as it does now to women who have not married by a certain age. He will feel strange and unfulfilled.
So that's it. In this mythical world, after the birth of children, men will stay at home, raise them and run the household. While a woman will commute to work every day. And when she comes home, she will be tired, and there will be no household chores on her. Unless sometimes, at the strong insistence of a man.
If it seems to someone that this is not realistic, remember that you can pay for any male job. Call a plumber, loader or electrician.
Women in our world, if given free rein, and not planted at home, can just as well earn and support a family. But, unfortunately, or fortunately, a woman's lot is to stay at home and sacrifice herself for the sake of her husband and children.
So, back to the question, who is smarter?
According to statistics, of course, men. They have made almost all the key discoveries, made a huge contribution to the development of technology, over the past hundreds of years.
What if women could work and develop on an equal basis with men? Not giving yourself to the whole family, but looking for talents in yourself and being free to choose? After all, only 150 years ago, women were not even supposed to study. What statistics can we talk about?
Therefore, my opinion is that women have been oppressed for too long and not given the opportunity to develop.
Even now, looking around, you understand that a woman pays more attention to her family and children. And the man is absorbed in his career and his own development. Therefore, they have more achievements and opportunities, and in general it is easier for them to achieve success in society.
But this does not mean that men are smarter. Rather, it suggests that men and women are equal, and each is good at what he does. But talking about the stupidity of a woman is at least not fair. Of course, now, the female sex has more opportunities than 100 years ago. But, in such a short time, they have not yet managed to accomplish more than men.
Therefore, the conclusion is:
Men, at the moment, are really more successful and intelligent. But when women are given the same freedom as men, we will be able to understand exactly which of us is smarter.
