The point of his post was that on average, men have superior physical strength.

I agree, but brawn doesn't always come with brains.

Luckily in wide scale IQ testing it has shown that guys in general have about 5 more in IQ than girls.

Pfft. Where? Afghanistan? lol

No, the entire world's Mensa test results combined. Men have scored higher than women for about a hundred years.

Although, I read that a guy made a test with five countries with 500 people from each, and in that girls won by approximately 0.5% over men.

But in the Mensa scores guys win.

(The countries were Australia, New Zealand, White South Africa, Estonia, and Argentina. The only country where the women scored lower than men on in that intelligence test was in Australia.)

Over the last 100 years? Find something that lists the averages over the last 30 years. And stick with the results from the G 20, not the third world :P

Suddenly you have faith in IQ tests?

How many IQ tests was that based on? Surely not just one. lol

It is what it is, Xena.

But according to the tests the gap between regular men and women is insignificant. What makes it look like all men are smarter is the people who score higher than average. When it comes to an IQ of 125 there's twice as many men, and when it comes to genius level there more than five times men than women with that IQ. But what really matters is the average scores, because that's where the most people are.

Women are a lot better than men at sitting still and focusing on their studies though, they generally have better grades.

All in all? Millions.

And you're correct, I really don't give a shit about IQ tests and I don't find them reliable because they don't test the full extent of intelligence, only certain aspects of it.

The problem is that it's currently the best thing to go on when it comes to intelligence.

It's called Male Privilege,  Obsi. Of course men got higher IQ scores a hundred years ago when girls were expected to have their first kid by age 13. No university education for them :P

Like I said: Find the scores for the G 20 only. And only go back 30 years.

It's the same. They look year to year and they look at G 20. They look at the rest of the world as well but don't publish those scores because it would give an unfair picture of it.
