No need to fuss about IQ gap

MEN and women are not the same. Each was created with a specific intended role.
Men traditionally are the bread-winners and, thus, are physically (and in some ways mentally) superior to women. Women, on the other hand, have the task of nurturing the future generation and, thus, are emotionally superior and more eloquent.

Even with modern advances in science, women's role as child-bearer is yet to be replaced.
Women, however, may easily fill in the role of sole or main bread-winner, and many have succeeded in doing so. Surely, from one point of view, this willingness of women to accept extra responsibility may be seen as ludicrous.

Why add on to the already heavy burden of moulding the future generation?
Of course, the many advantages of educating women can not be denied.
It is proven that by solely educating groups of women in developing nations, infant and child mortality is significantly reduced.

Also many families would find it difficult to survive without a double income.
On top of that, women are given a sense of freedom and independence financially.
The career woman, however, faces a huge dilemma. Sooner or later, she will come to realise that either her career will come in the way of her family or vice versa.
Eventually, something has got to give way. If she chooses her family, that does not make her less of a woman.

It can be over-simplified that the sole purpose of women is to bear and nurture her offspring.
It can also be deduced that the modern "double income" families may be partly responsible for the moral decadence of our youth.

Women in many developed countries have begun to realise that the best thing to do is to compromise their career for the sake of their families.
Thus, the question of who has higher intelligence quotient is irrelevant, as long as we understand the purpose of our lives.
