Women seem to be disproportionately into stuff like astrology, crystal healing, being religious, etc. What are some examples of untrue/silly beliefs that are typically held by males?

Scores on IQ test are highly correlated to a lot of other things, and as such IQ serves as a pretty good (though obvs not perfect) measure.

This one seems right! I definitely have the impression that more women than men are into conspiracy theories. I wonder why that is.

Men are more into macrocosmic conspiracy theories, like flat earth, CIA-JFK and fake moon landing.
Women are more into personal, witch doctor-y theories like astrology, anti-vaxxing, anti-GMO, organic food.

Maybe this holds with men-as-systems-thinkers and women-as-personal-feelers somehow? Male 'crazy' is wrong ideas about systems, women 'crazy' is wrong ideas about interpersonal, sensory stuff?
Which would lead me to predict that women 'crazy' is more damaging.
