Actually the Y chromosome has 200 genes and yes it is the smallest. Chromosome 1 has 3k genes and it's the biggest. Between all of your chromosomes, you'll have 25k genes.
Potatoes have more chromosomes than humans, hence the Internet comparing trisomic people with potatoes.

If more genes/chromosomes would make people superior, people with Down syndrome would be our overlords

Males are naturally far better in some areas than women and, logically, the vice versa is also true. For example: women have an easier time differentiating colors while men have an easier time tracking moving objects, both of which came out of our roles in prehistoric times.
Not to mention the fact that once a female egg is fertilized, one of the X chromosomes actually flattens against the side of the nucleus and becomes a “Barr body,” and is unused. Whereas males use all their chromosomes. Science!
Actually, I completely agree with the premise of the post. Women indeed are superior to men. That means we don't need special programs and scholarships that are only for women and exclude men. Women already have such a great advantage we don't need to bend over backwards to give them advantages in the name of leveling the playing field.

I mean the only fields where women are ahead of men are makeup and porn so I don't get what you mean.
