Ask Marilyn: Are Men Smarter Than Women?

Gina Holubiw of Burnsville, Minnesota, writes:

Marilyn: I just read an article titled "The 16 Smartest People on Earth." All the people listed were men. Do you know why women are seldom mentioned? I find it hard to believe that women are not as intelligent as men.

Marilyn responds:

My best guess is that women don't demonstrate their smarts nearly as much as men do.
