[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on another thread, the national ratio is 60% female and 40% male.

Why is this?  What are male high school graduates doing?  Do they eventually go to college?  If so, wouldn't the ratio be 50 - 50?[/quote]
Distribution of intelligence for boys is more spread out than girls so the boys at both ends of the curve don't make it to college or drop out either because it is too boring or too difficult.[/quote]

Not the PP who wrote this, but it's true.  Basically males tend to be more skewed than females.  Not just in intelligence, but in other areas as well.  It's why there is such extremes among men, such as having a large proportion of men in jail, drug addicts, abusers, etc., plus a large percentage who are very stable.  Women don't fall into such extremes as men do. [/quote]

This is such a BS argument. It's been used to try to explain to women why they shouldn't expect to be at the top of anything. "But look, sweetie, while women will never be the smartest, they'll never be the dumbest either!  Those are all men too! Don't you feel better now?"[/quote]
