Okokok... Im gonna jump into this one, alright guys?
First of all, education CONDITIONS or not, it is true that these so called "geniuses" tend to surface under all the "wrong" conditions. There are a few minor examples, lesser known people who may have had an incredible impact on our modern way of thinking, even if not considered "smart" or did not have "scientific" or "creative" aptitude.
However, claiming that school has no effect on the existence of theses geniuses is a mighty generalization. Note: even in the media today, those who live through harrowing conditions are the ones who get the most publicity. Lack of school doesn't make them smarter, although it may give them a kick to exercise their abilities to change their circumstances.
Those who work on rockets, those who create medical equipment that saves the life of millions, are they not geniuses?
They're not necessarily men. Here in the USA, women's rights are fairly new concept. But in a look over the course of the world, women's rights have been undisputed and a given for thousands of years. In Egypt, one of the technological meccas since the creation of the written language, women have not only had full rights, but have been allowed to rule. the most well known, Cleopatra, was actually the 11th women leader named this. This is not to say that there weren't more with other names.
As a minor fact, the Male/Female ratio of my school being something like 175/200, with the females leading in grades with an average of around 85%. Males had something like 75%. Does this make girls smarter? No. But they're doing something right.
Anyhow, I personally believe that men and women are the same intellectually. The only differences that are major are emotional and physical.
