Well, lesbians certainly seem to be disproportionately represented among women with scholarly inclinations.
Edit: and an even higher proportion of women who stay single.
"Disproportionately represented" != "usually", but if you interpret "something wrong" more broadly, e.g. not having several children by age 30, that does seem right (at least in the present-day western world -- I have no idea whether that was also the case in Nietzsche's time, and I've heard it wasn't the case in e.g. the German Democratic Republic).
OTOH by such a broad definition there also is usually something wrong with the sexuality of men with scholarly inclinations, too.
And when a scholarly inclined man marries a scholarly inclined woman...
Yes, and I'm pretty sure I've heard Nietzsche quotes to that effect as well.
