  1. Women are at the same time less intelligent but also more intelligent than men. Their average IQ doesn't differ in any meaningful way but there's greater variability in the cognitive abilities of men. Among men there's more exceptionally smart and exceptionally dumb people. If one looks at places where the retards are, e.g. in the loonie bin or in prisons or in schools for the mentally retarded, the vast majority are men. But the vast majority of theoretical physicists and inventors are men too. The reason for this is very simple, and it's actually the women themselves who have caused it: in a civilisation where women are free to choose their own husbands, they will tend to favour males they perceive as having a social status at least slightly above their own. Women value intelligence in a man more than men value intelligence in women, because men have, unlike women, no problem with marrying down, they're significantly less sexually selective. Women drive up the reproductive success of high IQ and high status men by marrying them instead of less intelligent men and this has been the case for thousands of years in the vast majority of the population, because most of our ancestors were simple peasants and labourers and, at least in the West, men and women outside of the nobility have been selecting their partners more or less based on voluntary interaction for ages. Because the vast majority of our ancestors had nothing, and if you have nothing, marriage politics become irrelevant and you just pick some local villager of your own social class that you get along with. But even in those circumstances, more intelligent peasants were sought out as husbands instead of their dumber peers because intelligence even among people of similar social class, is still perceived as a marker of higher social class. Also, women have a smaller visual campus in the brain, meaning they're typically lower in spatial ability than men, but also tend to be better at languages. Well, the thing is, high spatial ability is worth considerably more money than high verbal ability, all else being equal. Jobs depending on spatial ability, like engineering, can be scaled. An exceptionally competent engineer designing a product for 100.000 users can move on to designing products sold to millions. An exceptionally gifted teacher of psychotherapist cannot move from caring for 30 people to caring for 30.000. The whole idea that women are being paid less for the same work can only be taken seriously by ignoramuses who have no notion of basic psychometrics and evolutionary psychology, and logical thinking, and who have bought in to the absolutely moronic idea that humans are a product of their environment rather than of their genes. Culture (and with it the man-made part of the environment we grow up in) is downstream from genetics.
