Women are Smarter than Men.

Thought I'd share what I wrote to my potential employer with y'all.
_______________________________

Women are smarter than men. Allow me to state the obvious. Academically, the number of women graduating from university worldwide is getting more year on year, and well above the numbers of men successful of the same. Women are naturally smarter, however, social imposition on them to be more domestically inclined, and discrimination from the male-dominated world have been holding them back from being at the forefront of many important positions and responsibilities in the various job sectors. Once these are slowly changing, and smart women become smart, educated women, we can see the surge of new, recognised talents ready to outperform their male predecessors.

Two months ago, I watched a debate on RTM1 between two local college leaders on the issue of male college students not performing as well as their female counterparts. During the question and answers session, I cannot help but to be surprised by the way the male graduates are handling the situation. They made such unremarkable remarks and arguments in defense of the laid out facts only to prove that not only the statistics are telling, but men unfortunately, are left behind in terms of matching the emotional intelligence shown by women.

According to New York Times (1/9/2006), part of the reason that women are getting smarter lies in their positive attitude towards work. Women take their work more seriously, they thrive to perfect their work ethic to avoid stress and most of the time complete the job assigned to them with utmost quality. They know that they have to work not only smarter but also harder to break through the existing male-dominated world. Women now realise that men are not superior; women too can excel in any job. It is just a matter of learning how to overcome the challenges, fast.

Even after joining the workforce, women continue their quest for education, more so than men. They pursue a higher degree, professional qualifications, or simply, read more than men. As a 25-year old professional woman, it is my own observation that my fellow female friends and I enjoy having intelligent conversation with each other more than with our male friends. Women know a lot more, and even getting better in traditionally male-areas such as business, investment, real estate, and politics. I see a lot more drive in us women, and we are fast in executing our plans. Men on the other hand, talk about women, or about the most up-to-date PlayStation game, which women hardly recognise ourselves with.

Proving themselves as capable individuals, women do not only excel in their job, they continue to manage their household well. They have a broader view and excellent management skills that work to the benefit of their job, and their family. Undermining the tasks that women do efficiently at home is egotistical. Managing a house requires more hours, superb diplomatic skills, and excellent delegation of work to conquer the workload. Time is rarely enough; it is with working smart that all tasks be done on time.

Men might still dominate majority of the world, but women have always been the dominating force of men. The rise and fall of men has everything to do with the smart women around them. Most important of all, women are smarter and more confident now to leave the backstage, and conquer the world with spectacular performance. I know, because I am one of them.
