From the gist of the piece, it seems that the makeup of men is a bit less stable so there's more diversity and evolution occurs more readily, while the female blueprint is more apt to stay within certain bounds. Thus men are more apt to be a genius or an idiot, while women are closer to the median, on average. So again, rather than men being 2nd best, some are better, some are worse.
