Okay my mistake, still interested to know which areas he refers to as men beng better than women.
One area women are better is getting the majority of assets in divorce settlements, I think that is the root of poor old Max's problems with the fairer sex |

It’s official. Women are smarter than men. For the first time in history, western women are scoring higher than men on IQ tests, according to Professor James Flynn, a widely recognized authority on intelligence quotient testing. Both genders’ IQ scores have improved over the past century, yet women’s scores typically lagged four or five points behind, Flynn told the Star. But in the last few years, women’s scores have risen faster and surpassed the men’s results by about one point, according to data Flynn compiled from testing agencies and academics in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Estonia, Argentina and Israel. “Where women had a full opportunity to embrace modernity, women now either equal or slightly surpass men,” said Flynn, emeritus professor of psychology and philosophy at New Zealand’s University of Otago. He spoke to the Star by phone from Oxford, England. Israel was the only exception to Flynn’s research, which will be published as the book Are we getting smarter? in September. Israeli women remained two points behind men (98 points versus the average man’s 100), “entirely due to the Orthodox women who are cloistered from the world.” Canadian men weren’t studied, but — sorry, gentlemen — the trend likely holds here, too. Since Canada’s educational profile is in line with other developed countries, it is “fair to say” that if a man’s IQ score was 100, his female counterpart would score 101. (Although little data exists for the developing world, it appears women’s scores are also rising in Turkey, Brazil and Kenya.) Women are also more likely to qualify for post-secondary education than men with the same IQ, according to Flynn’s findings. Among high school students, females with an IQ of 100 scored As and Bs, whereas males with the same IQ received Bs and Cs. Perhaps girls are more conscientious, or boys simply have trouble adapting to formal education, Flynn suggested. “Not only are women as bright as men, but they’re surpassing them academically because of certain character traits.” Flynn garnered his data from standardization samples for the Raven’s Progressive Matrices IQ test. His subjects ranged in age from 10 to 30-years-old. There is little evidence to explain why women seem to have won this battle of the sexes, but potential theories include: Women were historically disadvantaged and have since caught up; multi-tasking between family and work boosts women’s smarts; or, women are inherently more intelligent. Before women feel too self-satisfied, it must be noted that IQ tests aren’t without controversy. These tests measure and reward the kind of intelligence valued by university-attending types in developed nations, and neglect cultural intelligence that might be equally prized in different settings. And while British men and women may have about the “same competence for the modern world,” Flynn found the men had better spatial skills while women excelled verbally — he suggested women are better suited to be lawyers than London taxi drivers. That tidbit might resonate with the mayor of German town Triberg. As a publicity stunt, he designated two hard-to-maneuver parking spaces in the town parking garage as “men only” — he told the local paper that “men are, as a rule, a little better at such challenges.” |

Good on you JoH...well said...until someone has experienced discrimination they really don't understand how unjust it is...the Boy's Club has successfully managed to dissuade any woman from aspiring to the PM's job for heaven knows how long...and we are so un-represented in both sides of politics it's laughable...(except it really isn't funny) Mirabella conceded in the last hour...but at least the independent is a woman... |

This has been so refreshing to watch these people be sworn in.
I feel like the circus of the past is over. Finally a bunch of upstanding family orientated people with good values, religious values, are commanding our nation. You can even tell in the way they conduct themselves during this process. The room is full of Jesus believers and they actually act normal. |

How very un-catholic of her. This joint is going to be a zoo, no doubt

That about sums up the Australian Twitterati crowd. Pompous w@nkers who spend their days thinking up ironic slogans and acting like they know best for everyone. Rudd made the mistake of believing his Twitter popularity was somehow a reflection of wider society. How wrong he was. That area of media is a snapshot of a small demographic who for what ever reason think their opinion is of any great relevance. |

The entire hatchet job on Abbott by media and even social media, completely failed.
Its falling on deaf ears now, and is coming across as childish name-calling. The people chose Abbott, because at the end of the day, people want actions and results. The name-calling is immature bullying and it failed. But, we forgive them |

Gillard got off very very very lightly from the media. There was always more focus on King Tony, instead of Gillards disgusting ways.
Backstabbing her way to leadership, introducing a tax, she got off very lightly. It was the most insane circus in our nations history. |

The name-calling is immature bullying and it failed. But, we forgive them Heart Please read above post. Brooke do you realise you are an extremely confused woman. You talk of the mainstream media conspiring to fool people (9/11, Syria etc) yet you are so weak minded you HAVE to consider these insane theories so that you can feel a little superior. At the end of the day YOU are the one being played, and you don't even realise... or do you think these theories have no root?? I wonder... |

talk about cave-man mentality..you and Abbott would make good dinosaur-slaughtering mates... so, physicality is the be-all to a good politician...if that is so...why don't we invite Mike Tyson to take up citizenship and lead the country...he must be like Zeus in your eyes... we already have the absolutely asinine Senate selection of Glenn Lazarus...representing the Palmer United Party...most of whom, when placed behind a microphone prior to the election, were barely able to utter one intelligible word ...someone stated that Lazarus used to make great pre-match speeches....gee, why don't we put Geoff Toovey in as well...he rants as well as anyone I've heard... I'm not absolutely sure you aren't taking the p*ss out of this, Macca...but if you are serious... GOD HELP US... |

Lazarus will be good at making the hard yards in the senate. He can tackle anything.
But I doubt Tyson would pass the drug test. Pauline would have been good for half time entertainment. |

Lol. Just read about "Gillard's disgusting ways" and the greatest sin of all - a politician introducing a tax. Go immediately to hell Julia. Do not pass Limbo, do not collect Brooke's christian understanding and forgiveness on the way.

Interesting comment just now by Dr Brendan Nelson at the Press Club. Responding to a question on his reflections on addressing the Press Club at the same time Mr Abbott is being sworn in as PM.
He said: "I guess I was neither bad, nor mad enough to be Prime Minister"
