I would like to disregard all your studies, but everything in this paragraph

Why are there twice as many men with an IQ of 125 as there are women? Why are there 5.5 times as many men with an IQ of 155 as there are women? Why at the near-genius level brilliant men outnumber brilliant women by 8 to one? Why at or above the 99.9th percentile there are about 15 times more males?

is STILL part and parcel of selected studies. And there are different studies that do not support these findings. And I still am not interested fighting that battle with you.

So why don’t you disregard all the studies you’ve seen and explain what basis you have for thinking men are more intelligent than women? And withing that answer, please have the courtesy to address this:

I think that this is what we really should be arguing: does your motivation in all of this have to do with the roles of men and women in Yiddishkeit? If that is the case, why do you have to insist that men are “smarter”? Hahsem created men and women differently to fulfill different roles. If you say the difference is intrinsic in intelligence – even a man and woman of the same intelligence are still different. And a woman he is more intelligent than the average man still can’t fulfill a man’s role. And unquestionably, if Hashem wanted men to be unequivocably “smarter” than women, He could have made it so. Why can’t you just accept that Hashem’s motivation (kaviyachol) is whatever it is, and can’t be reconciled to your own understanding? I think most women are able to do this…so why can’t you?

P.S. Before you spruce your up vocabulary, you might want to work on your topic headings. Try googling “capitalization in titles,” and find a result that references the Chicago Manual of Style. I think this one is okay, but it will probably make it harder for me to spot your multiple identities in the future, so I suggest you go for it.
