There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper

[Alex Bragi]

...

I've always loved this theory; I think it explains the world I see around me very well.

Spoken like a true misogynist.

Most people I know who disagree with it tend to reject it with the suggestion that historical inequalities of circumstances between women have disadvantaged them so severely that its no wonder there are so many fewer female geniuses. Perhaps! That's the sort of argument that only time can test unfortunately.

Anyone have an opinion?

As far as I'm aware there are no statistics out there to suggest that men, generally, have a higher IQ than women, although it is a fact that women do have a proportionately larger brains than men.
