>>14743644In my experience, men and women are equally smart, they just have different factors that motivate them. That being sad, it always surprises me how a woman can be all logical and stuff while writing code and at the same time turn into an emotional hissy fit-throwing stereotypical female on a personal level. But then again, maybe the "le rational logical man" is a meme since a lot of men have a fragile ego and are so far up their asses that they can be just as bad as women. As for the college thing today, I'm not sure but I think a lot of it depends on college being less about brain and solving problems and more about learning which is meant to be accessible to everyone who applies themselves. Maybe women are more academically successful because they can easily fall in line and follow orders while men are "turbulent". Maybe it's in order to prove that as a woman they can do it while men don't give a shit. Maybe it has to do with their personal life and given that women can easily get attention and validation today and for men it's the opposite, that has to influence other aspects of their lives and so men are generally more demoralized.
