The call for a citation is warranted, and, if the data supports the claim, I'm curious whether the same applies to homosexual males and if there is a significant difference between closeted and out homosexual males.

However, it does not follow that someone pointing out a biological reality (if it is, indeed, the reality) automatically blames women for their own sub-optimal performance and is therefore a misogynist. This is true, even if some misogynists use the exact same finding to do so.

A quick google turns this up:

and this:

I recall also reading something similar regarding sexual imagery specifically, but I cannot immediately locate it.

I do think your immediate leap to "misogyny" is uncharitable and unfair. There's nothing inherently implausible or sexist about the hypothesis.

I fail to see how pointing out a way in which men react to women makes it in any way the fault of women.
