Actually I know that women are smarter in some areas. One of those areas is common sense, and their common sense is telling them that too many men leave women for a younger model; hence, they need to educate and learn to advance in the world for the good of their family or themself.

None of this surprises me. I am the mother of three very smart girls, and twin boys who lag far behind. Some of this is plain genetics, the twins were adopted, and some is simply incentive. The twins refused to go to college. The two older girls have two advanced degrees, the younger one is still an undergraduate. It's underpaid blue-collar work for the twins (neither can pass drug tests) and for the two older girls, it's nice salaries and further to go. I expect the same from my younger girl, who is also planning on getting a graduate degree.

However, my husband is much smarter than I am. Though I am the better speller, writer, grammarian and editor and have more common sense, his IQ is off the wall. Not that I'm dumb, but hubbie's IQ is highter than Clinton's.
