As far as intelligence goes, it's ridiculous to make a statement that women are smarter than men. In certain ways, women might have an advantage. In other ways, men may have an advantage. As far as making rational decisions and being less prone to deception, I think the men win hands down. Even the Bible refers to women being more easily deceived.

1Timothy Chapter 2, Verses 11 and 12
[11] Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
[12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Isaiah Chapter 47 Verse 5
[5] Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
Female Pharaohs Hatshepsut and Cleopatra, The Virgin Mary, Eleanor of Aquitaine & Marie Curie, and two recent Irish Presidents would like to speak to you. I'm holding Margaret Thatcher on a lead for fear of what her handbag might do to you!
First, second and third sentences are reasonable, if a generalisation, but then you had to go spoil it all didn't you? You are obviously easily deceived, but I don't think the babble is an authority, on anything really.

A person usually knows with a fair degree of certainty who his or her mother is. You can't say the same about the father.
@MK: you got it in one, sir.
"As far as making rational decisions and being less prone to deception, I think the men win hands down. Even the Bible refers to women being more easily deceived."
Though YOUR relying upon the Bible shows that YOU'RE more easily deceived than many others, I know of no credible evidence showing that women are more prone to believing lies than men. Hmm, more women than men in the U.S. attend church services. Maybe you're on to something, Leah.
And yet Adam believed Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Of course she was right about the apple, she knew that knowledge is power.
He was totally clueless and still is.
See a pattern here?
Last time I heard anything about male vs female intelligence, women did have a higher average IQ. That said, it was only by a very small percentage, but still enough to mess up the biblical idea of women being somehow automatically inferior to men.
As far as intelligence goes, it's ridiculous to make a statement that fundies are as smart or even smarter than humans.
I fixed the post for you.
Yeah, that's why the first person Jesus shows himself to after rising from the grave is a woman? Because they are easily deceived?
Yes, and it was women who attended Jesus while he was on the cross. I guess they were deceived that he was the son of God?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
