Women all over may not like it but it has been proved that men are smarter than women.
A study of 100,000 17- to 18-year-olds on the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) published in the September 2006 issue of the journal Intelligence, has confirmed a surprising new finding-that men have a 4 to 5-point IQ advantage over women by adulthood.
Because girls mature faster than boys, the sex difference is masked during the school years, which explains why the sex difference was missed for 100 years.
The new study, based upon an analysis of SAT scores that correlates to IQ, appears to confirm the similar earlier research, using a different methodology, that concluded adult men have IQs 3.3 to 5 points higher than women.
It also found that the g factor--the general factor of mental ability underlay both the SAT Verbal (SAT-V) and the SAT Mathematics (SAT-M) scales with the congruence between these components greater than 0.90, and that it was the g factor that predicted student grades better than the traditionally used SAT-V and SAT-M scales.
The male and the female g factors were congruent in excess of .99, and they favoured males to an equivalent of 3.63 IQ points.
The male-female differences were present at every socioeconomic level, and across several ethnic groups.
oh.

Given that IQ and SAT scores have been traditionally calibrated around male assumptions about what constitutues "intelligence", no surprise there.

Intelligence tests are usually balanced in a way so that men and women obtain the same average scores, though men are more likely to fall at the extreme ends. Many psychometricians are women; one of the most well known is Linda S. Gottfredson who writes:
The debate over intelligence and intelligence testing focuses on the question of whether it is useful or meaningful to evaluate people according to a single major dimension of cognitive competence. Is there indeed a general mental ability we commonly call "intelligence," and is it important in the practical affairs of life? The answer, based on decades of intelligence research, is an unequivocal yes. No matter their form or content, tests of mental skills invariably point to the existence of a global factor that permeates all aspects of cognition. And this factor seems to have considerable influence on a person's practical quality of life. Intelligence as measured by IQ tests is the single most effective predictor known of individual performance at school and on the job. It also predicts many other aspects of well-being, including a person's chances of divorcing, dropping out of high school, being unemployed or having illegitimate children

A black person rules the UN which is the government of the world. Kind of?

Pretty much. You'd think that if the men putting these studies together were as smart as they claim they are, they would have figured that out.

There is no "government of the world". The international state system is anarchical.

This sentence is grammatically incorrect. It should be:

Ummm... yeah. Men are smarter than women? Apparently not at grammar!
::) :P
