Oh, by every single God out there... When I mentioned intelligence and nationality/religion I wasn't refering to the education system or anything of that sorts. I was talking about the ability to think and create that most people are born with, not how well educated they are.

Innate ability needs to be developed. It's a fact that family enviroment has a major impact on the IQ score of childs. And the same can be said for the artistic sensibility. Do you think that if Michelangelo was born in Nigeria he would have sculpted anything remotely close to the david? Picasso would have been capable of painting the guernica? How do you separete what's innate from what's developed? It's not possibile because every metrics used to quantify those things is heavily dependent on environmental factors.
But the point of this discussion is that male and female hare wired differently when it come to sex. Males have a stronger drive, much stronger, and they react very quickly to a visual stimulus. For the female the mechanism is more subtle. But you can't reduce this to one is more stupid than the other. There are evolutionary reasons behind this. Females have to "select" their partner more carefully because they can only have one pregnancy every X months. Instead a male usually can mate many females over a short period of time, he doesn't need to "select". Both do what they are supposed to do. For humans cutlure and self control can mitigate these natural traits but they are still there, you can't cancel them completely in the name of gender equality.

Yes, it needs to be developed, but what I'm trying to say is, that it doesn't really matter where you're born; as long as you get the right tools. If you get the proper education, it doesn't matter where you're born or what religion you adhere to
What do you base the bolded part on? And I agree that there are quite destinct differences between males and females when it comes to sex, but there's really no study that suggest that we're either monogomist or polymagists in nature. What you're suggesting is that male should spread their seed as much as possible, but truth is, there's even different kinds of males; the "seed spreaders" and the "family man". So not only is there a difference between females and males, but there's also a difference in males and males. And I wasn't the one arguing that men are more stupid than women, generic-user made that comment, which I refuted. Honestly, I fail to see where you're going with this post?
