"Some sexes" is a weird way of saying that, and no. However, women experimentally have a narrower IQ distribution, which means that low and high IQs tend to be dominated by men. It's (I suspect) why there are more male nobel laureates (and programmers) but also more male prisoners.
This is also the expected result if you're familiar with GMV as mediated by sex chromosome pseudodominance in most mammals, including humans.
- runawaybottle 6y agoThat’s not the reason man. Socially women were driven away from certain fields, that’s all.
- doorstar 6y ago> women experimentally have a narrower IQ distribution A glance at Wikipedia shows that this statement is contested. Pretty much every statement about men, women, intelligence, and IQ is contested. > This is also the expected result if you're familiar with GMV OK, I'll bite. https://bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13293-019-0245-7 https://bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13293-019-02... "few sex differences (if any) remain statistically significant" It amuses me that any article about racism and sexism in the tech inevitably devolves to "It's not racism and sexism if we just think that other races and sexes don't perform well in the tech industry."
- centimeter 6y ago> Pretty much every statement about men, women, intelligence, and IQ is contested. Well obviously, but most of the contests against hard IQ data don’t have much merit. > <link to paper about gray matter volume> GMV isn’t “gray matter volume”, it’s “greater male variability” - hence the mention of sex chromosome pseudodominance. > in the tech industry. It’s not just the tech industry - every industry will have some selective pressures.
