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?

IQ is not the only filter on beliefs, there's also skin-in-the-game, ambition, intellectual curiosity, and harshness of environment.

So there's something going on with women that doesn't impact their ability to do pattern recognition, but is impacting their ability to hold good beliefs

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 bet for both men and women hotness is correlated with more foolish beliefs (on topics that don't seriously affect your life).
