+272 No, I wasn't being sexist or racist, I was merely stating a fact of life, like how men earn more money than women, and most construction workers are Mexican, amirite?

If a man and a woman have the same position at the same business and work the same ammount of hours, the man tends to make 20% more. It's a fact.

The tradeoff is that it's easier to for women to get jobs.

You're kidding right? If a company could legally do that then they'd be crazy to ever hire men. They could just hire women for 20% less. In fact the ones who did hire men would probably go bankrupt because they wouldn't be able to compete financially with the smarter companies that only hired women.

women's brains are also smaller. I remember reading that from somewhere.

Yes. I think the standard female brain weighs around 100g less than the standard male. But the thing is, people just to conclusions and assume you're saying that women are stupider - the mass of the brain doesn't effect intelligence. Women's body are typically smaller than males, and on average, a woman's head is smaller than the average man's, so it's all in proportion. But, again, it has nothing to do with intelligence.

o.o. but a dinosaur's brain is as small as a peanut, marking their aggressive attitude and...dumb actions for lack of a better word. also, the cavemen from the past had smaller brain cavaities amirite? I'm pretty sure brain size still plays a role in intelligence no matter how unbiased you want to make it seem.

In comparing different species, maybe, because different species brains and bodies have different functions. But the average female brain is smaller than the average male, yet from all the IQ studies I've seen, there isn't really a large difference in IQ between the sexes depending on group size.

Hmmm. Kinda yeah and no. Like when people say "I was just telling the truth", everyone knows that you can tell the truth and be a massive arsehole at the same time. But for this one, I would agree with you, because people toss around "Racist!" "Sexist!" "Homophobe!" etc. too much these days. I'd say it would depend on the context of the conversation you were having.
