I have no problem with disagreement. I am suspicious of people who buy into, and expand, without evidence on hypotheses. Perhaps you are needing the definition of "hypothesis" :

Scientific hypothesis, an idea that proposes a tentative explanation about a phenomenon or a narrow set of phenomena observed in the natural world. The two primary features of a scientific hypothesis are falsifiability and testability, which are reflected in an “If…then” statement summarizing the idea and in the ability to be supported or refuted through observation and experimentation.

So, it ain't necessarily true. Suggest you file this particular hypothesis into "possible, but NOT proven!" That disease was caused by "bad humours", was also a working hypothesis, at one time. It was eventually discredited. Edit I added bolding for emphasis

I'm sorry, I'll try to explain myself better. I meant that men are overrepresented at both ends of the intelligence spectrum (and at many other areas), and that seems be an indisputable fact - as it's supported by a lot of evidence. That's why it makes me sad.

I'm trying to have a civilized conversation but serious things that do impact women's lives can't be discussed, right? We'd rather deny them.
