Both sexes have equal intelligence.

Wrong. https://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/SexDifferences.aspx

"Male and female mean IQs are about equal below the age of 15 but males have a higher mean IQ from age 15 on. The effect of sex differences in IQ is largest at the high extreme of intelligence. Since many of the more prestigious roles in society are associated with high IQ, the lack of female representation in these roles may be partially due to fewer females being competitive at the highest levels. "

Straw man. /u/Skipdip's claim is that both sexes have equal intelligence, not that both sexes have equal IQ scores. Respond to the claim.

What is intelligence if not intelligence? But yes it probably does extend to IQ scores, which as far as I know is a relatively controversial way to quantify intelligence. You’re very demanding, though, and it seems like you do believe males as a group are smarter than females. Check this out: https://youtu.be/hTLfiBTtE88

Maybe you are responding to /u/tseug, but I don't think they are smarter nor equal.

If one agreed that one gender were smarter than the other, then it might be true that one race is smarter than the other race (if you equate intelligence and IQ scores then this statement is true).

I was responding to him. The sexes have some differences, but are equal where it matters. Gender is a construct, the word refers to stereotypical sex norms and was coined in 1968. See this video for differences between sex and gender. https://youtu.be/g7mMgykM5Us

I don't believe in that stuff about gender and sex being different. Thanks anyways.

IQ scores are the best measure we have for intellegence. How is that a straw man?

How is that a straw man?

You first have to prove that X is equal to Y. If intelligence is not equal to IQ scores then you have no argument. (Perhaps not necessarily equal. Nearly equal would be good enough. 1% accurate might even be useful, but there is a lot of controversy about how accurate IQ scores are.)

Conflating Y with X is a straw man.

IQ scores are the best [or only] measure, [therefore they are an accurate measure.]

That's another fallacy. Imagine you have a telescope capable of giving the chance of alien life in a visible galaxy. The telescope gives readings, 2%, 5%, 20%, 1%, 0.00001%, etc. However, you actually have no idea if that galaxy contains alien life. You might go to the 100% galaxy then find nothing. You might go to the 0% galaxy and find an abundance of life.

Humans have no accurate measure of human intelligence. They can't even make a drone as nimble or smart as a bee using materials a hundred times the size. Humans don't even understand what sleeping does--don't even pretend there is a magic number to estimate intelligence.

I don't have to pretend, because that's what it is, an estimation. Obviously it's not perfect. Show me a genius with a low IQ score or vice versa.

I'm not watching a one hour interview, point me to the raw data that proves your claim.

I have bigger problems. You can skim this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_intelligence

Weak. Yes your problem is you're a member of a brainswashed cult.

[–]Skipdip 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I was gonna respond to this baiting, but literally I can’t get involved. Why don’t you go to the gendercritical sub and have this conversation about sex and intelligence with people who aren’t in the middle of a personal crisis. Dickhead.

Good luck with the scissoring ;)

Thank you that’s very considerate of you

you clearly are not very intelligent. Presumptuous sexist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differences_in_intelligence
