Surprisingly, Study Shows Women Smarter than Men – More Scientifically Literate

Holy crap, looks like the gals are smarter than men, and more scientifically informed

Unfortunately, this is study is merely from a peer-reviewed, scholarly academic study….and we should probably wait for the non-peer reviewed response from obscure rightwing web blog armchair scientists……but this totally comports with my anecdotal daily experiences!


This is the money finding from the study:



Ha! Sociological studies are the best! This study totally is totally consistent with my daily experiences. I’m constantly being owned by female ecologists and biologists. Which is hilarious!

And, on a daily basis, I routinely run into dudes who consider themselves armchair scientists and climate experts, but yet their blatherings are complete, and comical, displays of scientific ignorance and illiteracy.

My take away lesson: that gals are on average, more scientifically informed, and also more modest about it.


Dear Shanta and Katie, my lovely and brilliant scientific peers, I will totally shut my mouth and listen to you more! :clink:

Regards,
Cypress

It took a scientific study for you to figure out womenz are smarter then us? :eek3:

Ha! Totally! I need to get both of my hemispheres operating at full throttle!

I also think, as a generally rule of thumb, gals are better listeners. And consensus-seekers. Although, there are always tons of exceptions. Maybe the gorilla chest beating, and the never admitting you’re wrong crap-ola is a DNA genetic thing with dudes. In my experience, there’s a lot of dudes who will try to hog center stage and pontificate on their alleged expertise about crap they don’t actually know anything about. Like this dude who was yelling at me the other day about “junk science”, but it was clear he didn’t have the foggiest clue what he was talking about – it was a litany of talking points he obviously heard on Rush Limbaugh. I rarely see that hilarious display of primitive testosterone-driven babble from gals in public forums.

I actually think there is some strong evidence that when institutions – whether they be corporate, academic, or governmental – have a good mix, close to 50-50 of men and women, you can leverage the synergy of gorilla chest-thumping, and consensus-building. I actually read somewhere that some countries in Europe now have statutory laws that require corporate governance to actually include something close to a 50-50 split in leadership between men and women – which is a paradigm shift from the standard institutional 90-10 split in gender leadership historically in corporations and government. So, let the chest-thumping and consensus seeking commence! I think it could be totally synergistic!

The global warming stuff is all a lie, that's why women believe it more. They're more likely to believe things as presented. They don't question authority.

They are more docile, submissive and less likely to think for themselves.

This totally sounds like a dude who hasn't had a date in ten years. Yikes!

Stop blaming women for your social failures, dude! Turn off the porn, and get out of the basement.

Personality make-over, perhaps? Self-help is available!

just because you married your left hand doesn't mean you have a hot wife
 
LOL And I actually did. A "study" based on GALLUP POLLS?!?

First, the only thing this proves is women are more likely to accept AGW theory. The conclusion (unsupportable by the data, but only by assumption) is that those who believe in the theory are the more informed. Another person could take the exact same data and write a parallel "study" coming from the assumption that AGW is not accurate, and come to the conclusion that men are smarter and more scientifically informed; and it would be equally valid.

Stay tuned when Cypress comes back with more "peer reviewed" crap. Hint: when the term "peer" means those who agree, of course anything, even a study based on tea leaves and knuckle bones, will be "peer reviewed" as long as its conclusions fall within the religious beliefs.
 
I linked a study showing women are more likely to be religious. Not a single peep about it. Can't knock it down, can you, girlie-man cypress? This study more accurately shows that women are more likely to accept what they're told. Did it show that women were actually more learned in the sciences or did it show that they could recall the scary hype designed to appeal to their emotions?

I do miss Dave, we were watching the "racial draft", night as a matter of fact! It is one of the funniest episode he did, imo. The Prince basketball episode was on, too! Hilarious!

He's still around. Had a home down the way from here in Yellow Springs. Still does stand up. Were all proud of him for not selling out. I mean that took character and balls to say, I aint selling my soul for 50 million dollars. Hell I'd do it half that much!

Hmmmm....I'm not even sociologist, but I'm generally aware that the use of poll data is routine in social sciences research.

Are you aware that Gallup collects scientifically-valid poll data designed by professional statisticians?

Are you aware that professional and statistically-valid poll data, and Census data is routinely used in sociological research? I'm not even a social scientist, but a hack like me is at least dimly aware of that!

I thought most people who went to college, or are fairly well-read, were at least generally aware of that. Oh well, I guess not!


At any rate, I'll chalk you up as another rightwinger who thinks they know more than women on scientific crap. I think that was the whole finding of the study - that dudes are absolutely convinced they know more (than women), even when they don't.

Sheesh man, you dudes take things too seriously. Don't let a sociological study threaten your masculinity, bro! Lighten up, and laugh at yourself once in a while!
