This is first paragraph of wikipedia’s article on something known as the “variability hypothesis”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variability_hypothesis
Variability hypothesis
The variability hypothesis , also the Greater Male Variability Hypothesis, is the hypothesis that males display greater variability in traits than females do. It has often been discussed in relation to cognitive ability, where it has been observed that human males are more likely than females to have very high or very low intelligence. The sex-difference in the variability of intelligence has been discussed since at least Charles Darwin. Sex-differences in variability are present in many abilities and traits – including physical, psychological and genetic ones. It is not only found in humans but in other sexually-selected species as well.
Either the variability hypothesis is true, or it is false.
The only way to know is to do research.
On August 28, 2018, Theodore P. Hill, a retired professor of mathematics at Georgia Institute of Technology, published a scientific paper titled “An Evolutionary Theory for the Variability Hypothesis,” which supported the variability hypothesis.
The paper has been put online here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.04184.pdf
And here is an archive of that same link: https://web.archive.org/web/20180910143245/https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.04184.pdf
Social justice accused an academic journal of sexism for publishing the paper. The journal acted very cowardly and has since rescinded the publication. Since the journal still owns the copyright, other academic journals are not allowed to publish it.
Censoring the paper has caused it to become far more popular than it otherwise would have been. Apparently, social justice warriors either don’t know about, don’t care about, or don’t understand the Streisand effect.
Whenever I relate this story I always end by observing that I never knew what became of that guy, but am convinced he either ended up a great unsung inventor or met his end in the electric chair.
I think it's both - and it's not just the fems. Lefties are so mentally twisted, most of them have to think twice about which restroom to use.
There is a reason why “Hold my beer and watch this” is a guy meme.
There are more stupid and more brilliant males than females.
I did not need Genetics class to observe that.
For every Hildegard, there are many male geniuses. It is nature, not oppression.
When it blows up at the end, it is like an exclamation point on the stupidity of boys, and we all have it to some degree. But it is what makes being a boy so much fun, and so scary.
I was so clumsy and accident prone that there was a time I seriously never thought I was going to survive to adulthood...and then, somehow...I made it...:)
