I’d be willing to second this assumption. The reason being that the Y chromosome has almost no information on it while the X chromosome hold most of it between the two. So that is where all the mutation and variance comes from. I know that at least may explain IQ differences.
You opened a can of worms there. So many unanswered questions. Nature vs. nurture. Gender as a social construct. The repression of women. I could go on.

I’ve dated only stable women in my life but it wouldn’t bother me if she was MI. 'Do some men like the thought of women that are ‘unstable’? I don’t know. Maybe they think they might have more connexion with someone who wasn’t so square?
The problem seems to be mutual. I’ve seen too many women dating Bad Boys (abusive males). I guess it’s not a surprise that the problem goes both ways? Me, I like my very stable wife and marriage, thanks.

I took stable to mean “generally has control over herself.” If it means not MI, sure I would date someone thats MI if she generally has control over herself. Actually I don’t know who else would be tolerant of my limitations.
I think a lot of men like to feel superior to and in control of the women in their lives. On the other hand, maybe some men are caretakers and want someone they feel they can help?
I want a partner in crime that I can go on adventures with. Oh, wait, I’ve got one.

My ex told me (well into the marriage mind you) that he prefers women who have had a past history of abuse…because they’re easier to train.
Uh, huh.

Well, that’s horrible. My condolences to you.

I think there’s the assumption that “unstable” equates to wild in bed, and “bad boys” are more passionate. That’s the assumption anyway.

I heard very similar things from my first husband. He thought abusing me himself would help in the training process too…

Wow sorry CSummers that’s terrible. I wouldn’t want to “train” such a woman but to be comforting to them when they are thinking about past abuse.
I don’t get the concept of “training” anyone.

Well I don’t know but there is a difference in the bell curves for IQ between men and women. I’ve heard that the genetic mutation from having one x chromosome increases the chance that certain disorders occur. There are other things that can affect the human brain too. I’m sure testosterone has an effect on a maturing brain.
Also even though it is a bit out of my field of expertise. I’ve heard some people talk about things like climate change when they have no idea what they are talking about. They are just going by things other people have said or some things they have read.
