This isn't a stereotype. Most people with an IQ over 140 are men. Most people with an IQ under 70 are men. There's much more variance among men's IQ than women's. Overall the genders have an equal IQ.

Wish they'd also looked older than 5-7 because here around the age of 8 they began to question adult comments & detect agendas e.g. "You're only saying that's good because you're my parent". Do ideas acquired when very young stick?
