Men are the majority at the high end of the IQ / social success spectrum, and also the low end.

I'd be interested in reading citations on this, if you have any handy.

You'll want to search for things like 'male variance' or look at Baumeister's Is There Anything Good About Men?.

Thanks, that seems like a good place to start looking.

Incidentally, if you question the claims about numbers of males successfully reproducing vs female, we've already tracked down the citations and jailbroken them in http://lesswrong.com/lw/h4e/differential_reproduction_for_men_and_women/

Not so much that I question the claims, more that I'd like to know more in-depth about the subject.
