That sounds a bit better Jason, but I still quibble. That makes for discussion, at least.
I don't think women are less "industrious." I think some may be less assertive and more risk-averse.
There are differences between the sexes, but more and more it is being shown there are less than previously thought. In a free and just society with opportunity for all, meritocracy is natural because the best do the best, without leaving the rest behind. I am also more sanguine about the less "intelligent," because as I said IQ is a poor measure of this. IQ tests are also geared toward the dominant culture and ethnic group. Your analysis might apply to the handicapped and retarded, but most people want to be free and have fair rather than arbitrary rules placed on them. I agree with the old Rascals song, "people everywhere just want to be free." We can see that in the huge, mass uprisings for freedom and people power we see today worldwide, and which unfortunately the tyrants and their weapons routinely suppress. There's no way in hell these monsters are any more "intelligent" than the people they oppress. In a 4T and 1T, gender widening may also be due to the increased tendency toward conformity and a reversion to the unjust and unfair ways of the past because rulers and other powerful people gain more power as crises demand swift and collective action.
