This is fairly well documented. Average IQ scores in France have been declining a couple of points per decade if I recall correctly... I believe mass immigration from low IQ countries and dysgenics are often sourced as two of the potential reasons. But I have no idea how true that is.

    On hypothesis is that strong/indepdent women prefer someone who they can control and they marry immigrants or men with lower IQ ability (hence less desire for autonomy and personal freedom) which reduces overall IQ of the population SAT is just proxy for IQ. Many of my female friends who are at job and are indepdent are marrying wallmart guys (who are good looking but don't have good job)
