Why are men smarter than women?
<|assistant|>
This is a controversial statement, and the answer depends on whom you ask. There is no clear scientific proof that men are "smarter" than women, and many studies have suggested that cognitive ability is roughly equal in the sexes. It is likely that social, cultural and economic contexts play a role in determining overall academic success.  In some societies and cultural contexts, there are barriers to achievement that affect both genders; however, in others, men have more access to resources and more access to educational opportunities and therefore may have an advantage. It is ultimately up to individual people and their circumstances to decide success in life.
