Have you ever doubted a woman’s smarts because of her gender?
If you answered “yes” have you considered that many women have high IQs and excel in math and science? Women are just as smart as men. Therefore we need more gender equality. Women are just as smart as men because they are excelling in math and science. You may be thinking, “Well maybe those men should give women a chance, but are women that smart?” Yes, research shows that girls sometimes exceed some of men’s grades.
But mostly they get the same amount of good grades.
According to the GEM Club, a website for girls, ever since 1994 women have been excelling just as much as men in S.T.E.M and still are today. Women are just as smart as men not only in math and science but research shows that boys’ and girls’ IQs are equal.
In fact, some of women’s IQs have improved faster, but for the most part they are equal.
But some men (and even some women) still refuse to believe that women and men are equal even though they are. Women are just as smart as men which is why we need more gender equality. You may have heard of this before. Gender equality is the balance of men and women. Pretty much everywhere we don’t have enough of this and need more. Not only is this happening in people’s heads, but it’s happening a lot if you look for it. For example, if a man and woman are working in the same job (a woman may even be working harder), a woman is sometimes paid less. And not only is every president we have had a man, but men also dominate the government. Women are just as smart as men. Even though a man could be smarter than a woman, research shows that smarts is not categorized by gender. Women are just as smart as men because of IQs and excelling in math and science, which is why we need more gender equality. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: My name is Margaret Thompson.
I am eleven years old and in fifth grade at Captain School.
I live with my family on the 6100 block of McPherson.
I am writing this because I know from personal experience that girls and boys are not always treated equally. And of course, if you answered that first question yes, I decided to try to prove you wrong. Hopefully I did.
