I think it has more to do with social conditioning than anything else.
Certainly, men are more logic oriented, whereas women seem to be more emotionally oriented, but that has no bearing on intelligence.
I think women COULD be just as proficient in math and science, but for the way most women are raised it probably just doesn't seem like those routes are a good choice. On the other hand, this is coming from someone who has no idea what the real factors are, that are in play. So I don't know.
This sums it up right here... social conditioning. I'll add that although the logic/emotion tendencies do not affect intelligence, they DO affect how that intelligence is used. It's easier to work in math and science with a logically wired brain. It's easier to work in politics with an emotionally wired brain. It doesn't affect intelligence, but rather the application of where that intelligence is commonly used.
Just my two cents.
