Answer

1) at this level of discourse (iq) there are at least 2 men for every woman.

2) philosophy (argument) is competitive and analytic and women and men differ in self-selection for competitive/cooperative, experiential/analytic preferences.

3) men and women signal and practice-signal by different means for different purposes, and men and women self-select to pursue them.

4) men and women differ in the number of interests they pursue where women choose more and specialize less and men the opposite.

That’s why.
