i donno about smarter, over half the human population has a lower iq than a plant from what i saw, but technically we men do have bigger brains by virtue of having a bigger size, since the brain size is proportional to body size

How are you at -30? There aren't more females than men here... That's for sure. So that means many of your downvotes are from men. What kind of guy would downvote that? Not that I think men have bigger brains, there's no science to prove that. I think you know that, and I believe you're probably being sarcastic (although, this is reddit.), I find this humorous. To clarify, I haven't a sexist bone in my body, but this is funny.

oh, right, you need to add /s at the end of a sarcastic joke on reddit, otherwise people will take it literally and downvote you to hell
