Society is run by people at the edge of the bell curve, if you say that there are less women at the edges then you are saying that it's no big deal we have less

Society is run by people at the edge of the bell curve, if you say that there are less women at the edges then you are saying that it's no big deal we have less women in homeless shelters. It obviously goes both ways. Deviate too far in the direction of lower IQ and you end up with exponential reduction in means, power and choices. Following your suggestion of a direct correlation between IQ and success as in financial success, it can certainly be argued that men are worse off (and therefore more disparaged by his comments): if you end up with a high IQ, great for you. Go the other direction and your live will be miserable.
