I don't think women are less "industrious".

several studies have been done on this subject which suggest otherwise.

Quote:I think some may be less assertive and more risk-averse

this much is true

Quote:There are differences between the sexes, but more and more it is being shown there are less than previously thought.

such as? from what I've seen, little evidence is pointing in this direction. apart from the differences I've already mentioned, men have about 17x more testosterone, have higher visual spacial intelligence, have lower verbal intelligence and produce far less oxytocin.

this article lists some other differences

Quote: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.

I hope you're right about this. As it stands now, we have a pretty ugly problem to deal with on our hands that is not favorable to any mainstream morality, whether liberal, conservative or libertarian. 

Quote:IQ tests are also geared toward the dominant culture and ethnic group.

Actually, most tests that account for cultural bias show wider gaps than the ones which don't attempt to account for it. Personally, I think a big contributing factor is prenatal care, but all the work done by people like Dr. Richard Haier and Robert Plomin is pretty bleak in terms what we can do after a child is born. 

Quote:There's no way in hell these monsters are any more "intelligent" than the people they oppress. 

depends. no strong opinion without further context. 

Quote: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.

with respect, boomer feminists are quite a bit more tolerable than millennial feminists, and I don't think you have experience dealing with the sheer viciousness of milllennial feminists and their doxxing, threats, physical abuse, and yes, false allegations (the 2% figure most people cite is false allegations that make it all the way to court, which is a small minority of total sexual allegations)

Of course, you have no reason to take the experience of my own or my friends' experiences at face value. There is a grim amount of evidence on this subject. 

First, let's take this little experiment. imagine how men would respond if it were men hitting women

now look at these abuse statistics from the CDC. 
https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/p...2010-a.pdf
"According to the CDC’s statistics — estimates based on more than 18,000 telephone-survey responses in the United States — roughly 5,365,000 men had been victims of intimate partner physical violence in the previous 12 months, compared with 4,741,000 women"



And then we have the "Women Are Wonderful Effect". Mounting, replicable evidence has shown that both women and men view women substantially more favorably than they view men.

okay, so how are those male abuse victims treated when they try to seek help 
"When it comes to domestic violence, many believe that men are the only perpetrators. In a study of 302 abused men by Denise Hines, Ph.D, 32% who called a domestic violence hotline were instead “referred to a batterer’s program” (a support group for people who abuse), and 25% were “given a phone number to call that turned out to be a batterer’s program.” Almost 70% of these abused men claimed the hotlines to be “not at all helpful” (Sacks). A total of 57% of these abused men ended up being directed to a batterer’s program instead of receiving the help they needed. Even though anybody of any gender can be a batterer, even domestic violence hotlines will assume it is the male."

Perhaps most convincingly, take a look at this interview with Erin Pizzey. This is not a MAGA fan, a "redpiller", an "incel" or any other of the basic alt right bros clustering around certain parts of the internet. She was one of the women who helped found the first domestic violence shelter in the UK. After years of doing other work trying to help men and being blocked by the establishment, she is now...a men's rights activist.
