i don't know that one is smarter than the other. just different. oh boy, the PC police will be out in force now.

supposedly women aren't into math or science. i enjoy math, always have. 'science' as a term is very broad, some things i like, not others. very hard when people like to generalize and label folks. it's funny tho...i get told you're like a man in many things. what's that supposed to mean? plenty of women out there like me--it's not that we're like men, we're just perfect examples of how not all women are the same!

There are exceptions to everything. You are really confusing this if you think I am labeling anyone. These are not hard and fast rules.

And since we are on this topic, what is successful? I find it interesting that CEOs are considered successful and used in the first post. Successful is making money? getting things done with large numbers of people in an efficient manner? I am so screwed up. I got to have something more tangible. Successful... you set goals and achieve them? take advantage of bad situations and turn them into good situations? WHAT?

Pgn,

I would say success is graduating college. How about holding a steady job?
I used the business example b/c the perceived glass ceiling is more or less seen in business over other jobs. If you have better examples then give them. In this thread you do little more than ask questions and not even attempt to answer them. Actually all you did was ask questions. Come to the table with something please.

One catches on to information quickly and can manipulate it quickly... I think this is what our society deems smart. So most of the people on this board are probably very smart.

BTW, I have noticed the thing same that DTS has with spatial relations in males and females. I can give multiple examples.


This is all I got Randall. And that women, on the whole, work harder.
