Risk aversion, or Why smart women are worth more than smart men

Even though the topic is actively censored by the intellectual terrorists who control the intelligentsia with their political correctness, it is a fact confirmed by everyone's experience as well as by repeated scientific experiments that there is a measurable discrepancy between the distribution of general intelligence among men and women. IQ as measured in either sex leads to a normal distribution of intelligence along a bell curve, but the standard deviation of IQ amongst males is noticably larger, and the average of IQ amongst males is higher.

What the statistics mean... )

Now, I have a rational explanation for both statistics that does not depend on any significant difference distribution of genetic abilities at birth, except for one essential trait: that males in general have a tendency to be more reckless than females.

Why Risk-Aversion... )

What does this difference in risk-aversion have to do with the distribution of intelligence, will you ask? Everything! Because more risks means more selection, both internal and external.

Intelligence as the result of selection... )

Ben once wrote that One good Husband is worth two good Wives; for the scarcer things are, the more they're valued. Well, then by the same token, one intelligent woman is worth a lot of intelligent men.
