But aren't we talking about intelligence and intellectual capabilities? Because there is no difference there. There was great articleI read few months back from math statistician on chess playerbase. Statistics on such lager dataset don't lie. Woman are as capable in chess even though its 'male' superior sport. Its just there is less of them in the player-base.
It’s widely accepted that the average intelligence is the same for male and women, but the variance is larger among men.
Of course women are capable in chess, and there are women capable of beating nearly everyone with extreme ease.
However, when looking and the very tail of the distribution, you will find mostly men due to the higher variance.
Hence, more men Nobel prizes, more man chess champions, etc...
I am not ruling out societal factors, but way too many people today rule out biological differences altogether!
here is the article[0], though you probably already made up your mind.
Anyone who took Statistics 101 knows that these two distributions will show extreme differences at the tail, hence the large number of male Nobel laureates, chess champions, etc...
Who is arguing with facts?
You are since you didn't even read the darn article that states the opposite. But sure, keep believing in your well documented psychological literature.
