That goes against my/common knowledge. Off to Wikipedia [0]. The higher variability of intelligence for males is undisputed. If there is a difference between the averages is an open discussion. A revealing quote:
> Most standard tests of intelligence have been constructed so that there are no overall score differences between females and males
So genders have equal intelligence by definition. It seems consensus that men have better visual–spatial abilities. Since tests can balance this out, women must be better in other areas (which?).
Ultimately, the problem is the definition of "intelligence". Just like with AI.
