Male superiority in brains and bodies isn't contained to bipedal races. It's a norm in the animal kingdom that sexes aren't "equal" and that those who birth/incubate babies are more dependent and have to be protected.
Bigger absolutely does mean something, respective to a particular species. (e.g. human vs. human)
Brain mass in humans completely correlates to IQs from low to high, and it's completely measurable across race and sex and age.

If that were true women would have lower IQs than men when controlled for height, but they are in fact slightly higher. Their brain mass is still smaller.
The extra male brain mass is boring motor skills and physical coordination. A feature which actually impairs intelligence and all other abilities, and messes with your feelings and emotions to make you feel like crap all the time. At least in my case it did, and I'm still sour over it.

What I said is true. Men do have higher IQs in general, especially in the high end, and brain size generally lines up with IQs.
