An interesting article on sex, height and intelligence is at:

It includes the following little gem:

The orthodoxy in intelligence research for the second half of the 20th century had been that men and women had the same average intelligence, but men had greater variance in their distribution than women.  Most geniuses were men, and most imbeciles were men, they said, while most women were in the normal range.  This conclusion, however, was manufactured out of political expediency.  Not wanting to discover, or a priori denying, any sex differences in intelligence, psychometricians simply deleted from the standardized IQ tests any item on which the performance of men and women differed.

More recently, however, especially since the turn of the millennium, there have been an increasing number of studies that cast doubt on this politically correct conclusion.  Studies with large representative national samples from Spain, Denmark, and the United States, as well as meta-analyses of a large number of published studies throughout the world, all conclude that men on average are slightly but significantly more intelligent than women, by about 3-5 IQ points.  So this has now become the new (albeit tentative) consensus in intelligence research….([2] Full Story)

F4L:  Without a doubt, misandry (hatred of men) is the motivating force for pulling the enormous hoax that the first paragraph from the article identified.  That resulted in decades of slandering of men through deliberate falsification of “scientific” research.  That falls into the category of violence, for which reason this entry has been linked to the category “women’s violence.”
