The fact that more women than men believe in things I consider 'bottom tier' beliefs - like astrology, crystals, etc. - are confusing, because women have basically the same average scores on IQ tests, right?

I bet so much of it is just socialization. Smart people have a funny way of rationalizing the nonsense they grew up with while keeping everything else in perspective.

Yeah part of my point is socialization differs between men and women. Men are a lot more likely to dunk on other men for dumb beliefs than they are to dunk on women

I would think that they are not less able to hold good beliefs, but rather more inclined to hold any belief, possibly due to higher levels of openness (on average)?
