"But IQ is clearly a flexible construct -- as amply demonstrated by decisions in the 1930s and 1940s in the United States and Britain to 'adjust' test questions to equalize the scores of boys and girls, because in previous versions of the tests girls had scored higher."[[http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v457/n7231/full/457786a.html]][[http://www.amren.com/mtnews/archives/2009/03/darwin_200_shou.php]][[http://www.padsoc.com/iq/]]

But men were motivated/encouraged to be math-friendly while as Danica Mckellar rightly points out here [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugiqRjttL9U&feature=related]] women were/are not.

The first programmer [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Lovelace]] was a woman but men were made to hijack the field; because society(even places that profess gender-equality) expects/encourages men to over-perform and women to under-perform.

So, the incorrect assertion here is that Babbage had no other friends...tsk tsk tsk aw




Men perform better in mathematics and science at school level and very few women enter mathematics and science programs after that. Clearly proficiency in Mathematics and Science is the true indicator of intelligence and thus superiority.

The only actual reason why Ada Lovelace was the first programmer was due to her friendship with Charles Babbage - to assume that the field had always been female based on the gender of the only person who was willing to fund him completely misunderstands it.

Furthermore, men have been at the forefront of incredible inventions such as electricity, the light bulb, heart transplants, telephones, and even the computers and internet we are using now. Even the admins of this website are men!men$1  
You have basically tried to burden your whole argument on IQ tests but you did not realise that IQ tests are very inaccurate.

Yes, because... Tests are botched to favor or equalise men.

 

No, because...
