tl;dr Men are more intelligent than women and science is left wing and fluctuates like the weather in an English summer.

I am studying neuroscience and OP is right. There is strong evidence to show that men are smarter than women.

We also have evidence to suggest women are more prone to lie than men are. Pathological liars tend to have more white matter in the brain, as do women. Of course we still need to do a LOT of research, but the signs are pretty clear in my eyes...

Just because there is a link between gray matter and intelligence, and men have more gray matter than women, doesn't mean that men are smarter than women.
The density of both liquid and solid water depends on temperature; the warmer water (or ice) gets the lower it's density. Ice has a lower density than liquid water, but it is not warmer than liquid water. See?
Tl;dr link between gray matter and intelligence needn't be independent of gender.

I think it's a known fact that men are more intellectual and women are more emotional. Of course that doesn't mean women can't into logic or that men can't into crying.

There is no reason to infer anything about the difference in intelligence between men and women, just like there is nothing to be inferred about the density of water given only the physical state.
It is an analogy. If you don't understand a simple analogy, this isn't the place for you.

This is just one piece of evidence. Women are less intelligent/rational then men are. They use their emotions instead of actually thinking.

So first they find that grey matter is related to general intelligence. Then, a year later, they find that men have more grey matter, but don#t conclude they are more intelligent, but that a single neuroanatomical structure isn't related to intelligence. That's because they don't even question their premise of "essentially" equal intelligence.
Of course essential means men scoring 3-5 points higher on IQ-tests.
Therefore OP is right, science is left-wing biased.

Correlation does not imply causation. Absolute gray matter volume is not an absolute determinant of intelligence. If that were the case we'd be out-smarted by whales and elephants. If you take into account brain size relative to the body (encephalization quotient) you end up with a better proxy, but the picture still isn't complete.

Because guess what? There is no single neural correlate of intelligence.
