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 The journal acted very cowardly and has since rescinded the publication.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.
Anti science nazis
It has been known for a long time that males are far more numerous in the highest scoring on IQ tests.
Actually girls score just a tiny bit higher on average which would also indicate that males are more prevalent on the lower range too.
This variability has been known about for quite some time.
It’s true.
Today, science has been turned to the service of the left. It is no longer science. It is liberalism masquerading as science.
The left has taken over all the once-great institutions of this country. They control all the major corporations, all the major newspapers and TV networks.
Somebody needs to sue some of these SJW extortionists on the grounds of stupidity. Yes, literal stupidity. Now granted, it would probably get thrown out for lack of standing / stupidity not being illegal, but can you imagine the humiliation? Enough of that (plus the greenmail aspect that they have to pay a shyster to show up in court) and this kind of crap might slow down.
"...I look at it from a different angle, namely, that the same impulse that makes a young boy light a fart is responsible for all the great inventions of the human race..."
I would think that the Streisand Effect is literal proof of the hypothesis................
So much of the ‘intelligent’ community seems to hate who they were born to be.
Is it being female that sends these feminazi’s into a tizzy, or is it killing them they are not a man?
Women - real women - have got it made, at least in this country. Yet so many choose to remain entitled, combative, and always on war footing with the male of the species.
What a waste of a life being that way.
Males have invented almost everything and continue to invent the bulk of everything.
Men seem to be naturally more curious about how things work.
Not that there are not some women who have that same curiosity just like there are men who want to wear women’s underpants and pretend they are women.
When is the last time you talked about how to stuff works with women...and they were honestly interested?
Men also seem to be more inclined to physically protect others around them...as in physcially defend people around them.
Bump for later
I believe it’s because they secretly wish they had penises.
Shouldn't this really be called a much older phenomenon I'll call the top shelf effect ? In other words, the higher up one puts something to keep away from a child (e.g. cookies, liquor), the more they want it and the harder they try to get it?

Whatever you call it, the ‘effect’ is proof of hypothesis...............
Putting forth the “variability hypothesis” during a conference session is what got Larry Summers in trouble when he was president of Harvard.
Can women display toxic masculinity? Asking for a friend.
Liberals have what I like to call, Reality Defiance Disorder.
If the real world doesn’t fit their ideologically pre-conceived notions, then it must be countered and resisted at all costs, lest their whole worldview be proven bankrupt.
There's a word for that:
Scientism.
