If how much you respect and value people hinges so much on small differences in intelligence, then it would make sense that you are unable to entertain possibilities that associate, even super generally and with high variance, different IQ with different groups.

It's conceivable that brain function differs in some fundamental ways by biology in the same way it does between species, but in the social sense, we need "both kinds" for species survival. Defining intelligence is a fool's game.

Larger brains, far superior intellectual achievements in present time and all recorded history, higher scores on standardized batteries, which are made to equalize the sexes. I don't see why one would believe something other than male superiority here.

For those looking for empirical data, 2017 special issue of Mankind Quarterly has a a meta-analysis, as well as replies and new results (mostly supportive) from other scholars, and this includes James Flynn. https://mankindquarterly.org/archive/issue/58-1 …

The mean IQ is pretty similar but the variance is a lot different. There are a lot more male geniuses but also a lot more male idiots. I think it's a similar deal for other traits like height.

I seem to recall somewhere that women tended to score lower on average but deviations from mean favor women over men (i.e. the highest testing women tend to clock in higher than the highest testing men). But I also hesitate to equate IQ with genuine intelligence.

I believe it's the opposite? More Women score on average, while there are more men on both sides of the bell curve

IQ is only one type of intelligence measure too

A big reason is that intelligence is ambiguous, so the brief "members of x are less intelligent" can easily make people judge every member of x as stupid. Contrast with height. We know men tend taller but a tall woman isn't misjudged as short.
