"Men are more intelligent than women, claims new study

It is research that is guaranteed to delight men - and infuriate the
women in their lives. A controversial new study has claimed that men
really are more intelligent than women.
The study - carried out by a man - concluded that men's IQs are almost
four points higher than women's.

That is perhaps the most meaningless statement I've heard in a very

men on earth will average four points higher than the average of all
women on earth?

British-born researcher John Philippe Rushton, who previously created
a furore by suggesting intelligence is influenced by race, says the
finding could explain why so few women make it to the top in the
workplace.
