This is going to be a controversial article. You might want to join the controversy and raise your opinions, especially the guys out there. 😅

This has always been the talk everywhere whenever arguments start to raise and everyone is pointing who's who, who's better, who's smarter, and all that debate worthy topics.

*Men are smarter than women

Do men possess more intellectual ability than women? Articles and studies show that women are likely to be passed over by men in terms of intellectual jobs and men are more dominant in the field. In fact, the majority of countries all over the world have male presidents.

Generally speaking, men are seen as physically strong and elite. I mean naturally, they are. They have broader, wider shoulders and have stronger muscles. So then, there is a stigmatized reaction that they also have greater skills in mental, analytical, and logical challenges.

In the field of history, science, math, laws, and literature, mostly the names behind those inventions were men's. Probably because women were given fewer privileges of education because they are perceived to do domestic works only. Even in ancient times, or up to now I believe, women were/are still oppressed are were not given equal rights.

Come to think of it and take a look at the photo. If women were given equal rights as men before, would it make a big difference? Do we also have many female scientists and mathematicians?

If you guys are familiar with the film entitled "Hidden Figures", it is a biographical drama of 3 black women who work as mathematicians and engineers in NASA (the 1960s) as they encounter gender and racial discrimination throughout their journey.

Witness how these women made a difference for sending the first man in orbit and all crucial events in NASA.

On a personal view, some courses are only meant for men and courses only for women like engineering, law, teaching, and the like.

I believe it is a culture being passed from generation to generation. My uncles are engineers while my mom and auntie are teachers. My mom wanted to study engineering as well but my grandparents insisted her to take up education because it is a profession for females.

*Women are weak

Girl, I bet you frowned and raised an eyebrow seeing this statement. Same, even me writing this article. I know this is an argumentative article and I'm free for your opinions and objections.

Well, women are perceived as weak probably because we are too emotional and can't contain our emotions unlike guys do.

Men are physically stronger than women but that doesn't mean that women are weak.

Women can do so many things like raising kids on their own. Budgeting money, wearing heels and bras, monthly period with a twist of dysmenorrhea.

Not to mention, women giving up their careers to nurture and raise families. Pregnancy might even be the cause of an end to their education or career.

Now tell me, wouldn't that be enough to call women as strong?

There are things that women can do but men can't do and vice versa.

Men are regarded as powerful and mighty because of the remarkable history talking about Kings and kingdoms, military men.

So there's no doubt that men are physically strong.

*Women are men's accessories

Women are regarded as men's accessories even before. Women are treated like a baby-making machine that gets maltreated when giving birth to a female child.

Some girls are unfortunate to choose a man they marry because of the culture and tradition they belong to. China, to name one.

One more thing, guys are even proud of how many girls they have kissed, counting girls as many as they can. The audacity 🤷‍♀️😑

I couldn't stress more of this.

Guys, I know this article sounds biased because I represent and speak for the women about issues in general. Then again, I am not telling that all guys have this behavior. There are still some of you who are faithful and respectful to women and I salute you for that. This also works either way. There are also instances where women take advantage of guys and that is something that we need to dig into deeper.

However, let us not let our gender define who we are.

I'm all for gender equality really and a lot has really changed since then. Now there's no specific gender for a course, nor is it a hassle for women to get work though there's still a preference, basing on physical capabilities but still, it's better than it was years ago

When I say I stan women that doesn't equate that I degrade men. I am up for women empowerment but that doesn't mean I look down on men. It is a primitive mindset to compare the two genders when it is pointless to begin with. :>

Women completes men and vice versa, which means that there are some aspects in which men are better than women but there are also aspects that women are better than them. Arguing which gender is better is an old school way of thinking. We are in the 20th century and we have the so called gender equality.

Men are better at some things, while women are also better at other endeavors, that's the truth. However, I just can't see some solid proof that "women are equally smart, or smarter than men."

While it's true that women were a bit deprived to have access to some rights and privileges given to men in the past, there were times in history when the pursuit of knowledge, education, and achievement were dependent only on hard work and intuitiveness.

For instance, the likes of Da Vinci and Aristarchus were known only for their intelligence and wisdom, they never had formal education like the other great scientists that we know today. This means that even if women were not given equal rights to education, they could still be like some great scientists, if they want to.

I have no intention of hurting the feelings of the ladies here but I just want to ask this question: Can you name some female scientists or free thinkers who reached the same level as Einstein, Newton, Stephen Hawking, or even Steve Jobs?

I hope I'm not offending anyone of the female species, specially @Jeaneth, who wrote the very insightful article above.

Women were given less privilege of education before. They are not even allowed to go out because they're only meant for domestic works. However, with men, they are free to explore and that helps them to uncover their skills and potentials in their lives.

We have Marie Curie. She discovered Radium together with her husband Pierre but she was not given recognition as Pierre presented the discovery as his own. 😑

Good choice of topic. I believe in gender equality, no one is better and the best. We, humans, has different abilities that others don't have. Though we are different from each other, it makes us unique as individual. I don't believe that woman is weak because of being emotional, but that is their nature as a woman so I think it is normal. Maybe you are confused why am I defending women but instead of man since I'm a man, that is because I respect woman. Gender must no discrimination.

Well, men are dominant but if we measure intelligence based on gender that doesn't make any sense. There are things that women can do and men cannot do and vice versa. Gender should not be the basis for it.

That's right. However, in most cases, men are good with logic and abstract reasoning while women are good with communication or verbal ability. So I guess that is where this gender inequality issue came from.

Well to this, what I think constituted generally to this is the issue of physiological differences and societal stereotypes. There are some areas where women are better than men and vice versa but society has really influence how we think about ourselves. Since women are "seen" not proved as weaker vessel, that of course will constitute some sort of disparity. In my own opinion none is better than the other because we actually need one another 😁. We should just respect our each others differences and strive to be better. The fact is that no matter how weaker a woman can be, she is still useful. There are some areas that women has absolute advantage over men. Don't dispute that.
