The Smarter Sex?




I'm not sure how comfortable I am saying this but...apparently Men ARE smarter than Women, at least according to Richard Lynn Emiritus Professor of Psychology at Ulster University. Now to be fair this is the same man that claimed that Whites are smarter than Blacks but the lecture will be published in the British Journal of Psychology and the good professor does have a co-author Paul Irwing of Manchester University. The professor does however also state that despite mens greater intelligence, women are more likely to make better use of the intelligence they do have. This of course begs the question, what is better, being smart and lazy or stupid and hard working? I guess it all depends on perspective...and of course whether you are a man or woman...
