Are Men more logical than Women?

Debate Information

I am a woman, but darned if you do, darned if you don't. I have almost always gotten along better with men than women. Come on, ladies, you know we can be overly emotional sometimes. Women treat each other worse than men treat each other. After I was raped by only one man, SEVERAL women victim blamed me. FYI, I'm not a victim anymore, I'm a survivor. Anyway, my mother thinks disagreement is abuse. I am so sorry I have done that to some of you. I promise not to, anymore. Women just don't fight fair. I personally don't think a woman should be President. She would get us into a war when she hit menopause. Just my opinion. Am I being unfair, or can women be more emotionally supressive than men?

    Lol yes I think there is a difference in the sexes.  Women are by nature more emotional, I think it comes from being the caregiver sex.  I am struggling with the word logical..You might be correct, but that does not mean women are less then men and I think a woman would make an excellent President.   Yes women can be manipulative, but manipulation is usually the weapon of someone who feels weak, powerless.  
    I doubt any but the strongest women could manage to rise in the ranks to become President.  A strong woman would manage the presidency the way a strong matriarch manages her home, with compassion and practical intelligence.

    I am no longer active on DebateIsland or any debate website. Many things I have posted here and on other sites (Such as believing in the flat Earth theory or other conspiracy theories such as those that are about the Las Vegas Shooting or 9/11) do not reflect on my current views.

    Well, it's just my opinion. But, I do think that men are more logical and intelligent in comparison to women.
    We can find many girls topping grades in high schools but if researched those are generally who mug up and don't possess that much creativity. 
    Now, it necessarily doesn't mean women can't be logical or intelligent. Yes, they can be and can be more intelligent than many men. But, what I've found is that, either to show that they can do, or to show that they are not inferior, they always bring girly stuff even though that should not be the case when dealing with important matters. 
    So, I think that women can be very much logical and intelligent, but, when taken on average, many women will be less logical and intelligent than many men.

    i think they both can be very illogical in different ways but equally so .

    "Are Men more logical than Women?"


    No men aren't more logical, being that logic gets exercised in just about the same manners, as some go about living their individual lives.

    The law abiding, and the non law abiding?

    The way that some drive their vehicles?

    And the ways that some love, and the ways that some might use others?

  • No. There is no neurological evidence that suggests either man or woman is more logical than the other.

  • Men and women are equally capable of the same level of intellect if given the chance. Girls mature faster than boys do, but that is not to say they are naturally smarter. Bringing fake rape accusations into this scenario is unnecessary and degrading to women who have suffered sexual trauma. People who make these claims are shameful and many real feminists do not agree with them. Modern day feminism is about day to day life, as opposed to legal rights, however the right to chose is being taken away. Rape victims as young as eleven are forced to give birth to a child while men who admit to rape get off without any charges with relation to sexual assault. And yes, I am aware of men being assaulted too, this does not mean that the suffering of either party is diminished. Why do I bring rape into my argument? Well, to begin with, you did. And the same people who claim women are incapable of being intelligent are the ones who deny healthcare. Sexism has no borders. You support women or you do not.

    @ZeusAres42 Do you think that emotions interfere with logic?

  • Yes, I do think emotions can interfere with logic. Why do you ask?

    Anecdotal evidence should be given very little if any weight on determining something like this.

    I personally don't think there is a reliable way to measure one's intelligence and logical capabilities. IQ tests and the like have an issue with them. Namely, people can simply be terrible test-takers, have an emotional disorder, or another problem completely unrelated to intelligence which will impact the score they get on the test. We need a more reliable means of measuring intelligence and logic, and until then, I would find it wise not to believe any group is particularly more intelligent or logical than another.

    I am not sure how you can quantify one's "logicality". When scientists say that men in general are more logical and women in general are more emotional, they rely on pretty subjective tests. Test results do have some merit, but fundamentally are subjective. To make a statement such as this, we would need to come up with some truly descriptive metric of "logicality".

    Bear in mind also that "emotional intelligence" and "logical intelligence" are not only both important, but also somewhat interdependent. Someone scoring average in both may overall exhibit a more logical behavior, than someone scoring high in one and low in another, in theory.

    To conclude, it is complicated. Jordan Peterson believes that the differences are very small between men and women in this department, but they manifest in a very strong difference at both extremes of the spectrum. I am not sure I agree with that, but it is an interesting point to consider.

    @ZeusAres42 Before I say anything on this topic, please do not take anything I say here as an argument for supremacy, I'm simply noting average differences in gender. In some ways females on average are better and in some ways males on average are better. Moreover, averages do not apply to the individual.

    The body of research suggests that females are more emotional creatures than men (1). Consistent with this idea females are twice as likely to suffer from mood disorders than men (2). Moreover, while men control their negative emotions directly by decreasing amygdala activity, females control their negative emotions by creating positive emotions (3). This greater emotionality comes with some advantages too: females are better at processing emotional feedback than males (4) and have better emotional perception (5).

    Thank you for the links that I will check out as time permits.

    Moreover, Author Dale Carnegie once wrote: "Humans are creatures more of emotion than of logic." And I think that still holds true and relevant today as it was back then.
