Not objectively, no. There are some mild general differences between men and women that exist primarily because we are a sexually reproducing species, but how that translates into ones side being superior is beyond me. Both genders play their part in the continuation of species. Both represent a huge continuum of capability, skill and personality. Gender is FAR from the only piece of knowledge you need to assess a person's "worth". Side: no

Can you link me to the system that measures intelligence in years? Because intelligence can vary extremely between individuals of the same age... Not having to endure pregnancy and childbirth and all the associated burdens and energy cost would seem to give men an advantage if looked at another way. I reject both and call us equals, or close enough as makes no difference. Side: yes
My theory is that intelligence is given to you when you are born. Knowledge, however, collects in your brain over time like trash in a trash can. Saying women are 13 years smarter than men wouldn't make much sense. If I was 13 (since I am) and my little sister was just born, she would have the "intelligence", according to you, to be 26? If I was 90 years old and my little sister was just born, she would have the intelligence to be 103 years old? Doesn't make much sense. Intelligence is hard to calculate on a scale. Intelligence varies for each age. I would guess that your point is that if you were 13 and I were as well, you would have the intelligence of a 26-year old. Now it's starting to at least make sense, but I still don't agree. Where is this source you have that measure how intelligent each gender is? Saying women are smarter than men is an over-generalization because you haven't met the 7 billion people on Earth. You haven't met everyone so you aren't fit to say that women are smarter. As for the actual question, men are not superior to women. Each gender is good at doing gender-specific jobs and each gender should be treated equally. Side: no
