Girle are brighter than boys

did you always suspect that females were brighter than males? in the usa, the girls now achieve better results than the boys, even in kindergarten.  women will be increasingly likely to get the higher paid jobs – but will they have greater political power, or will we still have a 'man's world'?

 

In American schools, boys are underachieving and girls are excelling. This gender gap in academic achievement is evident as early as kindergarten. The longer students are in school, the wider the gap becomes.

Boys are more likely than girls to earn poor grades, be held back a grade, have a learning disability, form a negative attitude toward school, get suspended or expelled, and drop out of school.

The education gender gap is affecting colleges, the workforce, the marriage rate, and the fatherlessness rate in America.

Women outnumber men in college by four to three. Four decades ago, men outnumbered women in college by four to three. The tipping point occurred in the late 1970s. Not only are men less likely than women to go to college, they’re also less likely to graduate once there.

Among 25-to-29-year-olds, 33 percent of women have earned at least a bachelor's degree compared with just 23 percent of men. This is the first generation of women to be more educated than their male counterparts.

This shift means that women will increasingly get the highly paid jobs while men will experience a drop in earnings. This is already happening. Men in their 30s are the first generation to earn significantly less income than their fathers’ did at the same age.”

Nothing new in that kika

Girls have always been smarter :)

Kika, I know an overseas couple who sent their son here to University because sending him to S. Africa could put him at risk as it could be dangerous, but then said they would be sending their daughter to S. Africa as it would be cheaper! It really made my view of them change.

i agree abby, but would say that most women are more intelligent than most men. 

 

i found this website also fascinating  - its a book entitled "invisible women of pre-history" (or should that be 'pre-HERstory'?).  its about:

"This book reassures its readers that three million years of peace, a period when women’s status in society was much higher than it is now, preceded the last six thousand years of war during which men have come to hold power over women.  We can consider the possibility that if peace existed thousands of years ago, then why not now?"


 

i forgot to add the website reference in my previous post - here it is:

and vivity, that is shocking - boys still receive more educational support than girls, even thought the girls are a much better investment. 

What is a girle?     Half a girlie maybe.    If girls are smarter than boys how come they can't spell girl.

Thats because they are no longer girls but WOMEN who wanted equality and got what they wanted and now have to work an extra 5 years to get their pensions. LOL

REAL SMART.

 

Sorry ABBY..

Girls really are smart, why would anyone start are forum in a colour so hard to read.

The girl apprentice was told to measure the height of a ladder, she stood at the bottom of the ladder, crying, A mere boy passing asked what was her worry? I'm afraid of heights said the bright girl and I have to measure the height of this ladder.            Just lay the ladder down and measure it said the boy, WHAT!!!! said the girl, are you crazy?  I have to measure the height, not the length.

Bullshit!

Hey billy this is the joke page, Not the athiests site.

Was she a blonde Seth? LOL!

I believe she had a jar of bleach with her. Quite unlike our two blonde beauties.

Well,Why did the blonde crash the helicopter?

It was getting cold so she thought she would turn the fan off!

 

Not very smart!

billy

Is that true billy? I find it hard to believe,even a blonde would do that.          But then I have trust in everyone.

Kika, to be honest I don't think either sex is inherently more intelligent than each other. Give all children equal nutrition,including during geatation, equal educational support and opportunities and many more children would have the opportunity to reach their full potential regardless of their sex or whether born into a financially well off family or not as having money does make a difference to how a child will achieve in the short term.

Yes with the first part Viv but with the latter I kind of tend to lean towards
"you can bring a horse to water but you cannot make it drink" and some kids - well enough said

Abby agreed that is why I said full potential for some full potential is never going to get them anything much, sad but true.

A boy or girl may be equally at the stage to utilise their full potential but without an inner drive to pursue their aim, may just fade away.                          You see that today with the opportunities for girls/women in most fields,that once never existed  or were open for women. I see that in my own granddaughters' with their chosen professions.  you have to pursue your dream, it won't just come to you.

I believe that when parents have kids, they have until they are about 7 years old to influence them,I mean to be able to mould them in the right way,I believe that when kids reach 11-12 years old they get completely away from the parents "umbrella" guidance and are then responsible for their own advancement as a person,dont think male or female matters,I do believe that all humans have different capacities to learn and they reach the top level of their own competence,I know lots of people both sexes,who,no matter how hard they try they just cannot get ahead,nice people,decent folk but they seem to get to their own inbuilt limit of being able to comprehend and absorb knowledge.

Hence the man who picks up your rubbish every week is very happy doing it,to him its good work and a good job,that person is more important than the neurosurgeon whose garbage he picks up,without the "garbo" society would be in big trouble with vermin and disease etc.

But the garbo is at the limit of his mental competance,he is happy being "him/her",but is probably a more rightous person than the people in their Ivory Towers.

billy

Your quite right billy, some people can be educated beyond their ability to see what is around them, but that is OK, they can just relax and become athiest evangelists, give people something to chuckle about.

Your very funny Seth,what are they putting in them carrots? I want half! lol

send me an open cheque billy, and I may tell you.

i am edukated

popeye are you still on your healthy diet? your looking well.

research found 38 per cent believe men are better employees than women, while just 19 per cent of employers prefer female workers.
