I remember that quote from the film as good as it gets, where the fangirl asks the author how he captures writing for woman's viewpoint so well, he responds saying he takes logic, reason, accountability away from the character, and what she reads is what is left!

I know you probably don't care because this is about the lulz to you, but if you have a shred of decency in you I'd like you to consider the reason you made this comment, and consider the social effects it has if somebody makes a comment like this on every such story about this subject that comes up.

Or in brief, look at your life look at your choices.

Is it generally accepted in the relevant scientific communities that male IQ's exhibit more variance than female IQ's? I imagine this type of thing would be easy to verify via e.g. standardized test scores.

It's quite easy to ignore even very clear evidence when it goes against one's politics. And that kind of result is massively politicised for obvious reasons (e.g. there are clear differences on standardized test scores - but some argue this reflects biases in the tests themselves).
