  1. Why doesn't anybody on this forum consult the research literature on IQ? There is a searchable database online that contains all the papers called: pubmed. There are also many books by distinguished professors like Philippe Rushton, Richard Lynn, and Arthur Jensen, all of whom are the most highly cited eminent researchers in their fields. Their books compile the known research in the field. I suggest googling pubmed for their original papers and amazon for their books. I have read many of the original papers and I can tell you unequivocally that women operate at a deficit of 13 IQ points in visual spatial IQ, and something like 5 points in mathematical ability. Also, the variance of the male gaussian is not just wider than that of females, but it is also shifted to the right by 5 IQ points. This means that men are smarter in general and the interpretation that there are more male dullards on the left hand side of the gaussian curve when compared to females is dead wrong. However the number of male geniuses on the right hand side of the curve is indeed on the order of 40 to 50 times that of females when you go out more than three standard deviations. That information definitively answers why more men are in STEM and why they achieve far more than women. There is no sexism in science, unless you count the loathsome evil quotas that keep better qualified men out of STEM careers and universities in order to prop up objectively inferior minds. That is sexism and it is vile.
