read my post above, this is what I have already said. By the way, most universities and research centers are open for everybody regardless gender, so what you are struggling about?
blarneykite: Why don't women set up their own businesses from scratch, just like men have always done Hope i NEVER meet you at a meet... I don't sound good with a high pitched voice
I have set up many bsinesses from scratch and have encouraged other women to do so too. As to the meets, the Irish way of courting never suited me anyway, besides which, I have my own man now, who is more than a match for me.

If you press reply then quote at the bottom of the person you are responding to then things are easier to understand. I"m struggling with your opinion that there are no woman equal to Einstein or Da Vinci and in their day there very well may have been but due to oppression were not visible. Secondly, how do you know there are no woman today that equal them?? And thirdly

I'm only taking the piss and hope no offence was taken... I support absolute equality, across the board and have done for years.. There are areas where women hold the upper hand too, which need to be addressed.. as equality is a two way street..

to prove that one is better than the other one ,keeps me wondering, why do we have such a need ...

Of course I take no offense. (Superior intelligence and all that!)

GingerBe: That is so outdated as to be funny!
I would bet people will still sound like that a long time after they sound otherwise. The suppression of gender roles has never lasted.
During less decadent times we obey our roles just to survive. When roles once again become a societal necessity instead of a choice the laws of nature will override Feminism. Mankind can only cheat at life for so long.
EagleWoman: Personally, I don't want to prove that one is better than the other ... although I've made a few jokes on this thread ...As far as I'm concerned EQUALITY of opportunity, growth and treatment is the way forward ...
okay we all make jokes on the given topic ...
Equality of opportunity sounds good in theory ,bit is it doable in real life and what are the sacrifices ???

The only natural superiority, is brute strength in the male of the species, not intelligence.

I said that for women it is more complicated to compete with men because historically they have more advantage exactly because we were busy raising children while they were doing all the rest. And yes, I believe that for this reason there is no woman in history who would have influenced the development of science as these two guys did. If I am mistaken, give me the name. Maybe queen Elisabeth? But this is more administrative power than intellectual genius.
If a woman is gifted and insistent, she will find her way anyway .. Again, men might have some advantages from the start, but to talk about oppression and struggling is a bit too much - free road to get education , job and to build your career. I talk not only of my country who is too small to be an example, but also about my experience in Europe and USA.
As for the link - nice one and makes me proud. But I disagree that higher marks in the college are often about brains. Sometimes it is also about accuracy, consistency and extra-hours of learning, and ladies are definitely better in this than guys.

I believe it is doable. If men were half as intelligent as they say they are, then they'd have had women with talent doing all the hard work in the thinking department, and they'd be sitting back doing what comes naturally defending her honour. Male ego stands in the way of progress and a better life for everyone. Whoever started the myth of male superiority, was certainly a man, of little intelligence.

oh I like that sentence ...and for quite some time the modern way of life is struggling to break the spirit of Men ... I wonder why???

That is an outdated attitude too. The only thing stopping a man finding another way of feeding his ego, is himself.
He can choose progress and a different (kinder) way of thinking, or he can stay in a dinosaur frame of mind, and become extinct. The world, and attitudes in thinking, move on regardless.
Spirit is eternal. No one can break a man's spirit. He has to give it up himself!
TrueBlue1986: Definitely. On average Women are the more intelligent. However, Man is more likely - by some distance - to have abnormally high intelligence as well as abnormally low intelligence.
Studies show this to be consistent across both IQ and EQ.

Now I could be wrong about this, but giving up on his ego will turn a Man in to a bitter frustrated person with no will Don`t Women also have a Ego???

Man didn't give Woman the womb, Man didn't make Man the physically stronger, Man didn't make Woman the more compassionate. Evolution did all of this.
As all evolution is fueled by physical purpose, how can we have different characteristics if we were not intended for different roles?
The male chauvinist and the Feminist believes one of these roles to be inferior, this is what binds you together, the two groups are one and the same thought.
