Are There More Girl Geniuses?

No.

And citation draws on same Scottish study as the article, but goes further. 2 hour vid, but issue is confronted soundly within the first 30 min or so (half page down)

in both groups, the girls are more mature, more verbal, and more capable of sitting still.

Am I the only one that rages about this? Maturity comes from the ability to stand still? Does that mean a child with no limbs has greater maturity? A child that wants to run around, but can play Mozart is immature? A child that can sit still, but won't stop talking is mature? Maybe that kid that's doped up on ADHD pills who blankly stares at everything, he's the mature one?

Perhaps our perception of what maturity is needs to change before we start drawing lines about the cognitive ability related to activity.

Much of what builds "intelligence" comes from parenting at an early age. Boys were the preferred sex a while ago, and now since girls are the preferred sex the focus is changing. Feminist ideology is paralleling the John Wayne ideology from days of old, so relinquishing early development time for boys and giving it to girls is going to tilt that scale.

Either sex is equally capable of being as intellectually strong, but it requires proper development to get there. Since boys are just rapists in waiting, the emphasis is to raise smart girls exclusively.

I wonder when we're going to see the return of Phrenology by feminists to "prove" men are Neanderthal-like idiots.

There are no female geniuses.

The quickest way to get a female genius is to play with semantics and sarcasm.

For example, from the article you get this precious pearl:

One education expert has quipped that if current trends continue, the last male will graduate from college in 2068.

This "education expert" must be a female genius.

You see, that's the only proper use of the words "female genius", sarcasm or semantics.

There are no pink unicorns and there are no female geniuses

Male conspiracy cannot explain all female failures. I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant. Genius is not checked by social obstacles: it will overcome.

Camille Paglia she is the closest thing to a female genius

It just looks that way, since most of the Ritalin prescriptions are being shoved down the throats of boys.
