Men are smarter than women...and stupider, too!!!
The average intelligence of men and women is about the same. However, whereas women tend to cluster together in the middle range of intelligence, men are found at the extremes as being the most intelligent and the most stupid.
There have been several explanations for this distribution. Some biological, in that women need a certain level of intelligence to raise children, whereas men are not constrained by these obligations which allows greater variation in intelligence. However, recently, genetics has put forward a different explanation to account for these facts.
