Gender is not factor of which determine who is smarter. Females or Males differences are mostly matter how our society worked. Our society was based on brute strength of males, which they in history used more than brain, but it was abused and Females were treated like some subspecies.
Like this it was over 2 000 years. Clever people are both genders and stupid or with lack of common sense are both genders too. That the world have for example more astrophysicist who are Male doesn't mean they are more intelligent. After all natural intellect is dealing with life, because nature didn't mean our brains to be calculators.
I agree with Archant, gender has nothing to do with it. Now if this question was about emotions then women will win . Environment, desire, health, opportunity and genetics all has to do with how 'smart' you become.
Female students just as successful as males in math and science Asian-Americans outperform all
While compared to men, women continue to be underrepresented in math and science courses and careers. Is this disparity a true reflection of male and female student ability? According to a new study, male and female students earn similar grades in math and science while Asian-American students of both genders outperform all other races.

Let us not forget that women are scientifically proven to mature faster than men from the age of puberty to the age of brain development. I think they can prioritize at a younger age better than males. By the time men are on this scale they are wondering why they slacked off during high school years when they could have pulled off grades equal to the higher scoring women. Also I think men are drawn more towards stronger interests first and wisdom once they feel comfortable with themselves. It is a confusing time for us all, I think the most important schooling years should be in your twenties, I know I could have been a top notch student then like I was in college.
