Most female labour is simply the administration of male labour.

The assumption that 1 in 1000 level IQ is required or even advantageous for a STEM career is an incorrect premise. IQ's above 130 or 2 standard deviations are actually more likely to result in someone being excluded from the field.

By dividing the distribution function of the elite professions' IQ by that of the general population, we can calculate the relative probability that a person of any given IQ will enter and remain in an intellectually elite profession. We find that the probability increases to about 133 and then begins to fall. By 140 it has fallen by about 1/3 and by 150 it has fallen by about 97%. In other words, for some reason, the 140s are really tough on one's prospects for joining an intellectually elite profession. It seems that people with IQs over 140 are being systematically, and likely inappropriately, excluded. With the conservative assumption that, absent the exclusionary processes, IQs above 133 neither help nor hinder the achievement of elite profession membership, the excluded population is distributed as shown above. If we assume that the positive correlation seen below 133 IQ continues above 133, the excluded population would be larger and the exclusion more complete.

Grady Towers, in his article, 'The Empty Promise' concludes that IQs over 140 add nothing to the academic or career performance of the individual. However, the result herein described is a stronger statement in that it actually appears to support an inverse correlation.

The difference in IQ and the flatness of the female bell curve compared to the male one is quite correct. However not at all to the extent that it can even begin to account for the difference.

The idea about male expend ability may or may not be correct; There are many who would look to the genetics of women having 2x chromosomes vs men have 1 which moderates the variation and levels out the extremes.
