Males, on average, have 3 years longer than females before their brains are fully grown. That gives them a big educational advantage, currently turned to a disadvantage because of dopey educational practises. Guess why nearly all of the super-duper scientific whizzoes and general geniuses are males. It's not because of male bigotry, contrary to stupid feminists, it's because nature has selected females to be ready to reproduce 3 years younger, and has forced their full development at a younger age.

If this is in fact correct, it suggests that artificially delaying maturity might result in higher intelligence. I assume that this could be easily tested with hormone treatments. I wonder if anyone has tried?
