I’m curious: How many men that say things like this are, in fact, geniuses? This guy is referring to a normal distribution on a bell curve but leaves out the fact that males fall more into the two outliers “exceptional” and “intellectually disabled” than females. Interesting how he doesn’t say, “the intellectually disabled are overwhelmingly male” to offset his comment about men’s intelligence. It’s females who fall more to the center, meaning they are, on average, MORE intelligent than men. So, therefore, the stereotype about sex-based intelligence should be the opposite.
Women are destroying academia? Hmm:
The most comprehensive take is by Earl Hunt. But you don't even have to read up on the subject to blow arguments like this out of the water.
Here's the text of the comment:
>Yeah, I'm going to want a source for that claim.
>The consensus in the field is that intelligence and race are not correlated, and that any claimed differences are due to factors correlated to (but not caused by) race, such as access to proper nutrition, healthcare, and education (for more on this, I would suggest [Human Intelligence by Earl Hunt](http://www.Human.com/ Intelligence https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521707811/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lLbxzbX9PJQXQ)). Controlled for those factors, there is no difference in measured intelligence between racial groups, which makes sense since the genetic differences between racial groups are tiny relative to inter-individual genetic variance. Here's some further reading on the subject.
>Edit: Ooh, lots of downvotes but no replies and no cited sources. Guess people allergic to reality around here. Racism has never has had a grounding in facts, sorry.
And here's a link to the thread.

I think this is the meta-analysis that's cited in the book Human Intelligence by Earl Hunt, which is what I was pulling from.
