Exactly what I said in my post (did you read it?). Your argument and its basis were reached by a gross oversimplification of the actual statistical data and the studies done on it. You are assuming that you fully understand research that scientists have debated for a very long time, and believe that the conclusion you chose is therefore unquestionably more accurate than all others. You already reached this conclusion before finding evidence, and are willfully ignoring all evidence to the contrary (and there is plenty), and the multitude of different explanations and hypotheses. Like I said, I am not interested in parrying Scholarly Names as neither you not I represent them properly. So please drop the act already.

I think that this is what we really should be arguing: does your motivation in all of this have to do with the roles of men and women in Yiddishkeit? If that is the case, why do you have to insist that men are “smarter”? Hahsem created men and women differently to fulfill different roles. If you say the difference is intrinsic in intelligence – even a man and woman of the same intelligence are still different. And a woman he is more intelligent than the average man still can’t fulfill a man’s role. And unquestionably, if Hashem wanted men to be unequivocally “smarter” than women, He could have made it so. Why can’t you just accept that Hashem’s motivation (kaviyachol) is whatever it is, and can’t be reconciled to your own understanding? I think most women are able to do this…so why can’t you?
