As far as Jeopardy, it is a game, with a buzzer that can dictate who comes out ahead. As someone else posted, winning has less to do with IQ than with playing the game and operating the button. Surely we have better things to do than promote petty gender wars.
Would you mind providing links to these "serious studies"? I would love to see them if they are legitimate scientific studies and not ginned up PC malarky. 'Enquiring minds want to know.'
