A controversy is an argument. Something that is controversial is something people argue about.

That males have greater endurance than females is not an argument for their intelligence. (You don't need to add "physical" to "endurance".) Do you have any data to link intelligence and strength?

Quote:
Consequently, if we get an experienced male and an inexperienced female ( as it is common in my country ) to build a house who do you think will be able to perform better ?
That would not be a test of intelligence. That would test the benefits of experience. If you would compare an experienced male to an inexperienced male who would you expect to perform better? Would it be a test of intelligence?

Intelligence is the ability to learn. It is also the ability to solve problems. If you wish to test the relative intelligence of two groups of people, you have to give them similar tests.

The statement "many scientists believe this to be true" is not evidence.

An opinion is not experience. You could offer a story from your experience to back up your opinon, however.
