Reddit mentions of Smart and SeXy: The Evolutionary Origins and Biological Underpinnings of Cognitive Differences between the Sexes

I did share. At the bottom of the post are the citations, and thorough summaries of the data is in the post. I also put together a lot of other analysis on the effects of women in traditional male occupations, with a primary focus on the military since they are the ones who produced the most thorough studies and reports. If you want the full details and full citation list for the summary I am about to give you, its all in the book.

In short, here is the reality of these things. Women couldn't meet the physical standards as they were in the past. This was politically incorrect, so the standards were lowered so some could pass. Even then not many can. Realistically, "meeting the standards" doesn't mean anything when you just change the standards until you get the demographic result you want. So that is a specious argument.

Even if they can meet the standards, they are much more likely to get injured and drop out anyway. Even without the injury or in fields that aren't physically demanding, women drop out of jobs constantly. A large part of the reason America has a doctor shortage is that women take up about 50% of medical school slots, and often give up practice completely within 10 years or less instead of going to their 60s. Employment/enlistment attrition is vastly expensive and logistically a huge pain in the ass. It costs our military millions of dollars per year.

Then there is all the sexual harassment assault claims that are made. Again, this is hugely expensive to deal with by organizations. Millions of dollars again a year for the military. At least 50% of these claims are false and basically constitute a huge wast of time and money. Not to mention potentially ruining the men's lives and generally destroying any group cohesion.

There are many reasons why women are unsuited to various occupations. Physical differences are a proven part of that puzzle, but it hardly ends with physical differences.

In fact, men are far much smarter than women. The gap is astounding.

They are 10% smaller, 15% less neuron density. This book lists and explains all the differences with hundreds of references to primary papers

Yep, there is a whole book on the subject.

In average,men have at least 8-9 point higher IQ than women. and this is just average, this gap grows exponentially(I mean, male/female ratio grows literally exponentially) for the high IQ people.

And..try this book.
