Because men have larger brains, more gray matter and more neurons.
But being more clever doesn't mean that, you'll end up pursuing scientific knowledge.

I think the real reason is because men are on average more curious about their environment.
Maybe a contributor to the pursuit of knowledge is the innate competitive nature of men. Trying to look like each of them knows a bit more than the others, helps them gain understanding about the universe.

Maybe women have evolved to rely on men for safety and that's why they are less curious and don't have to learn about the environment to know what's safe.
This would also explain why they are bad at navigating.
Maybe for the majority of human evolution, they were more like house pets or pregnant.

Women cannot into academic rigour. They find it "boring". Working long hours, testing, and honing your craft isn't something they are apt for. It's why they make poor tradesman as well.

Women are generally not interested in becoming scientists. That's as far as facts lead us.
The reasons for that fact are currently in dispute. Feminists claim it's because of cultural norms, other people say it's biological. It's probably a mix of both if you ask me.

As >>8279997 pointed out, men tend to occupy the extremes in terms of IQ. Most of the geniuses are men, but also most of the retarded monkeys that fill up our prisons are men too.

This greentext does not even make sense as a greentext.Tell me something, did you just come from tumblr to shit on this thread on what? I mean this. you don't look like you know how to greentext and that is basically 4chan 101. You learn how to greentext after reading a single one.

Seriously, your greentext reads like a paragraph with the sentence structure of a 12 year old. You should have just made it a paragraph so you could write it properly.

Proof:

In your second line you use 'or'. That does not go well in green text. You should have written it like a list, the 'or' is always implied because greentexting in that style would naturally look like a list for your supposed historic sexism.

Then your third line is an explanation. In proper greentext this would not have been greentexted and instead been just a normal sentence that explains the greentext before it.

You are making it too obvious that you don't know shit about 4chan. Just like women make it too obvious that they don't know shit about math or science.

If 4chan was a career path then I would already be throwing your resume into the thrash just by reading this shitty greentext. This is exactly what happens to women in science. Lower skill, lower knowledge.

Thanks for making female inferiority so easy to explain.

Hard science won't and can't concern itself with such questions. The question is impossible to answer because no society is devoid of culture, so literally any type of meaningful study is going to be dependent on that upbringing. There is no way to reduce to simple variables and no way to objectively control for other factors.

Either way, the fact that women do less science than men in literally everywhere on earth, and the fact that as far as we know, it has never been any different, is pretty compelling. The large sample size (all of humanity and human history) does what hard science can't do, and controls for varying cultures.

Why do women seem less interested in science? Because women and men are different. Ask psychology if you want a more concrete but probably ungrounded answer.

Yes, studies have shown that even though men and women have the same average IQ, there is a greater distribution of men on both "ends" of the bell curve (for lack of better terminology). In other words, there are more men with exceptionally higher (3+ SD) and lower (-3 SD) IQs. To that point, as you'll see more male EE, physics and math PhDs, and moreover more men in the upper echelons of those fields, you'll also see more men in prison.

Take a look at the historical breakdowns of students by various demographics in PhD programs, for example. (Most, if not all programs have this information available.) At my university, Big State U. with a well-known reputation, the biology PhD program averages 60% women, 40% men; chemistry, 40% women, 60% men; applied physics, 25% women, 75% men; physics, 20% women, 80% men; and math, 15% women, 85% men.
