There’s no reason not to study it, but the moment you use the well known bimodal distribution to make claims about men in general being smarter than women you have lost all credibility because the spread of the populations is far larger than the modal distance. Plus the distribution is based on tests that don’t necessarily measure anything particularly useful. Plus there is centuries of institutionalised gender roles, training differences and cultural differences to complicate matters. So as long as your study is actually rigorous and you aren’t just claiming it is, then you are fine. If you are like Jordan Peterson and use any difference however minor to form your argument, you are misusing the science and have entered the world of politics and oppression.
