A lot of incels here think that women are less intelligent than men, because they score lower on iq tests. However we now know that height is heavily correlated with IQ and men are naturally taller than women. Thus this difference in IQ is more-so explained by a difference in height, rather than a difference in sex but men have a distribution with fatter tails i.e. more complete retards but also a lot of geniuses aswell
In fact, if you control for height, women score higher on IQ tests than men:

The role of height in the sex difference in intelligence - PubMed
Recent studies conclude that men on average have higher intelligence than women by 3-5 IQ points. However, the ultimate evolutionary question of why men should have evolved to have higher intelligence than women remains. We suggest that men may have slightly higher intelligence than women...

Table 1, Column 2 shows that men may be more intelligent than women because they are taller, how ever. Once height (measured in inches) is controlled, women have significantly higher IQs than men. Net of height, women score 2.14 points higher on the PPVT. In contrast, each inch in height is worth more than half an IQ point (0.56). A comparison of standardized coefficients shows that the effect of height is more than twice as large as that of sex. Because American men on average are 5 inches taller than American women (5'10" vs. 5'5"), this translates into 2.80 IQ points, overcoming the 2.14-point advantage of women and making men appear more intelligent when height is not controlled.
