    Eight out of 10 TDs in the Dail are now men. That is an absolutely shocking indictment of the voting behaviours of Irish people, and the social structures which we have created to deprive ourselves of a significant amount of human talent.

    What if in fact we've created a perfect meritocracy? How can you be sure we haven't?

    The intelligence distribution for men is far greater than for women. This means on average men and women are of equal intelligence, but more men will lie in the extremes on either end.

    Women are on average closer to the mean. The bottom 10% in IQ is dominated by men, but also the top 10%.
