Weak shit.

There might be very slight natural differences in variance of ability, which would explain why more men come out at the top and bottom. I don't think there's value into coming in to that argument on either side. At any rate, the evidence seems to indicate that the gender disparity (at the relevant IQ level) is at most 2:1.

Going 100 steps further and justifying the good-ole-boy network that has taken over VC and Silicon Valley is another matter entirely.
