You may be right but the problem is, were those 'smartness' tests decided by men? What type of smartness are we talking about? There are different types of intelligence and on average men and women seem to be good at different things. It's hard to compare things that have pros and cons in different areas. Where one is green and crunchy the other is orange and juicy.

I completely agree. I am not saying women are "complete idiots" or that men are "all geniuses". I am a firm believer that women and men have a higher intelligence in different "fields" (for lack of a better term). It's us, as a society, that define what kind of intelligence is more "useful". Apparently being very good at logic, reasoning, science, tech and anything STEM is "a sign of intelligence" that is considered useful and that can bring our society forward.

In 100 years society might decide that some other kind of intelligence is more important and men and women will reverse their roles in terms of "intelligence".
