Are women smarter? Or, are men smarter?
Gender doesn't play into intelligence, in my opinion. We should judge people on a case-by-case basis---and only after extensive observation.
I suppose it depends on how the individual wants to dress on a particular day, one day a man can dress smart and a woman dress casual or scruffy the next day could see a reversal.
Anyone with any intelligence can see this is an inflammatory question that has no sensible answer and is just written to resurrect the battle of the sexes.
When looking over exams, exam boards notice that women nearly always happen to understand the question and attempt to answer all aspects of the question, whereas men seem to ignore the details of the question and answer only on a basic level. Men appear to be able to cope very well with one problem whereas woman can deal with many at once but not to the degree of accuracy that a man attempts.
I would have to say that gender, just as well as race and religion, has nothing to do with someone's intelligence. It depends on the individual.
It's also hard to measure if someone is smarter than another. What one person is clueless about, the one that they are being compared to may be a genius about, but it can go the other way on another subject. Someone with a Doctorate will be said to be smarter than a fifth-grader, but have you watched that show, Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader?
Of course, if I'm being compared to my wife, she is smarter no matter what.
Talk about a broad question! Some men are better than some women and some women are better than some men. It depends on the person and the circumstance.
Unless you are CONVINCED that your woman is as broadminded as Jada -don't even THINK of asking her that question! -LOL.
Man, women and children are people,Women need to cultivate a gentle heart; Men, a responsible one.
Women are profoundly different than men in every aspect of their being, thought, analyzing capabilities, ability to see without an emotional eye and many other problamatic wiring in their brains. Men are more uncomplicated and think with different attributes of their brains. This is fact.
The lack of the emotional upheavals caused by hormones periods, change of life all that baggage sets them apart and gives them a stature, in my experience, that sets them apart from women in their leadership skills and their analyitical department. True some women think with both sides of their brains. I am one.
Always worked with men. Have even had to take short courses to be more compassionate towards women in the workplace and to understand that not every woman can handle the way I do and have. Are men better than women...........................are women better than men...............depends on the circumstances we all have our frailties.
Women their need for flattery and love and men their need to flatter to get love..................or whatever...................they do adapt. Lady Darko.
They are different, however......let me count the ways....
I don't think anyone's better than anyone. But I do think women are more fun.
That is a question that should not be asked. It could probably cause turmoil, in the ranks of a relationship. You would probably get no hot dinner, or a tap on the shoulder, before the lights go out......Here's your sign.
We've all heard the claims, the theories, and the speculation about the ways leadership styles vary between women and men. Our latest survey data puts some hard numbers into the mix. Our data come from 360 evaluations, so what they are tracking is the judgment of a leader's peers, bosses, and direct reports.
We ask these individuals to rate each leader's effectiveness overall and also to judge how strong he or she is on the 16 competencies that our 30 years of research shows are most important to overall leadership effectiveness. We ask, for instance, how good a leader is at taking the initiative, developing others, inspiring and motivating, and pursuing their own development. Our latest survey of 7,280 leaders, which our organization evaluated in 2011, confirms some seemingly eternal truths about men and women leaders in the workplace but also holds some surprises.
Our dataset was generated from leaders in some of the most successful and progressive organizations in the world both public and private, government and commercial, domestic and international. In the confirmation category is our first finding: The majority of leaders (64%) are still men. And the higher the level, the more men there are: In this group, 78% of top managers were men, 67% at the next level down (that is, senior executives reporting directly to the top managers), 60% at the manager level below that.
Similarly, most stereotypes would have us believe that female leaders excel at "nurturing" competencies such as developing others and building relationships, and many might put exhibiting integrity and engaging in self-development in that category as well. And in all four cases our data concurred — women did score higher than men. But the women's advantages were not at all confined to traditionally women's strengths.
Specifically, at all levels, women are rated higher in fully 12 of the 16 competencies that go into outstanding leadership. And two of the traits where women outscored men to the highest degree — taking initiative and driving for results — have long been thought of as particularly male strengths. As it happened, men outscored women significantly on only one management competence in this survey — the ability to develop a strategic perspective (see chart; click on the image to view a larger chart).
So what should we conclude from these data? Why are we not engaging and fully employing these exemplary women leaders? Yes, blatant discrimination is a potential explanation.
If not actual than certainly perceptual. That is, anecdotally, at least, the women we queried don't feel their appointments are safe. They're afraid to rest on their laurels.
Feeling the need (often keenly) to take initiative, they are more highly motivated to take feedback to heart. The irony is that these are fundamental behaviors that drive the success of every leader, whether woman or man. Why are women viewed as less strategic?
This is an easier question to answer. Top leaders always score significantly higher in this competency; since more top leaders are men, men still score higher here in the aggregate. But when we measure only men and women in top management on strategic perspective, their relative scores are the same.
What should leaders and managers do with these findings? Here are our thoughts.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
