Are you tired of some people saying that girls are smarter than boys or vice versa?

Question

In my class all of the girls in my class were making a big deal saying they are smarter than boys. And also I am tired of boys saying we are smarter than girls. It really is baloney. But I am a boy, to get facts straight. But I know a lot of smart girls in my class and I know a lot of smart boys in my class. Are you tired when people say boys are smarter than girls or vice versa?

Answer 1

Yeah, it's an old, old thing, and it'll never go away! Girls are physically weaker than boys, so I think they're always trying to make up for it by saying they're smarter. They aren't, of course, but they don't like to feel like they're second-class people, so this is what they do. Then boys come back with superior-sounding stuff to make sure they remain on top. And on it goes....

Answer 2

If it bothers you tat much just ignore them.

Answer 3

Yes. There are intellectual ranges in both genders. A lot of it has to do with societal expectations. Few people would have said girls were smarter than boys fifty years ago. Lower expectations for boys will only lead to low achievement among boys, as it used to with girls.  Ignore the stereotypes and prove that you are smart, not because you are a boy, but simply because you are.  

Answer 4

i hate it when girls say that or vice verca. why cant we all give this thing a rest. there are a lot of smart guys and even more smart girls but i still don't know why girls say that they r smarter than boys and boys say that they r smarter than girls.
