Well women usually do have smaller brains but that doesn't makes them less smarter than men. It's statistically correct that women has smaller heads/brains than men but also men with bigger brains are not smarter than men with smaller brains, the size of brain was never proven to have any effect on intelligence and also it's common that many simpletons has bigger brains than the average men.
So I guess it all depends on what the article really said not it's title, the newspapers usually use catching/controversial headings to catch people's attention and you can't read a book by it's title or an article by the headings.

When you consider that the brain in terms of bulk is mostly water and in any case we only use less than %5 of it as we go about our lives shows the people who use this as a sign of male superiority to be severely mistaken. The number of and density of neurons within an individual's brain is about the only accurate indication of a person's likely level of intelligence, and I am unaware of any study which confirms any general difference between men and women in this respect.
Anyone using such a size-theory of superiority would be at a loss to explain such things as a smaller athlete beating a larger one in a test of strength- but I'm sure they would have a convenient excuse

I think similar. Because woman have the power to mastery over the man. So equiped with this power woman can win any battle.

Hey, it isn't the size of the dingy, it is the motion of the ocean. Women are more adept at utilizing the compactness of their evolutionary size well...we are usually more compassionate, provide more options and are more interested in healing as opposed to tearing things apart than our big brained counterparts Go Condoleeza!! If we have a smaller brain, it is simply because we are genetically smaller than men--huh? Who thought that study up anyway? Some man, I can guarantee it....
