"You want me to start discussing, strength, IQ, spacial relations, or something else? Because while I agree that the male bell curve tends to have a longer taper than the female bell curve for a number of things, it's not cut and dried and parsing out the cultural aspects ain't easy. And if the thread's going to go bomb, maybe we should light the fuse that interests you most."
Adds brightly:
"So, is the overly male prison population and CEO list a result of genetics, culture, or both?"
I haven't the faintest clue. Though I suspect it has to do with male agression really. Of course another trend I have witnessed at times is girl being told by their mothers they can't do that career or have to behave this way. Though I will truly never understand how someone could cling to non sense, let alone use it bash their kids dreams.

Perhaps women are statistically less likely to be sociopathic as well?
Quite possibly, one thing to note is that neurological differences and disorders are less common in women and less severe. In fact that could explain part of what I'm seeing here, especially in the sciences. See asperger and high functioning autism are usually less prevelant in females then males. It's very well known that people with ASD's (Autism spectrum disorders) tend to do very well in the sciences, if simply by having a neurological make up that is better geared towards systematic study and mathematics then it is towards social settings and interaction.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
