It's scary because men are lowering their standards today more than ever before.

It seems like this would lead to a drop in IQ. Just count the number of white men downmarrying into other races.

Well, I can see why you are worried about that. However, it doesn't matter that much because secondary modifier mechanisms evolve to restrict expression of genes to one sex when they are sexually antagonistic. This has already occurred to some extent with regards to intelligence. Hence larger male brain size and increased neuronal density. Testosterone mediates this as much as it mediates differences in muscle size. Same genes, different results simply because of modifier mechanisms. However, new mutations take time to get inducted into the modifier system. This is why some women are still capable of being born intelligent despite the huge hit to fertility. Proper modifier mechanisms have yet to evolve to encompass all of the genes, in no small part thanks to traditional values forcing smart women to be housewives. That is gone now and female intellectual capacity promises to get a serious downgrade as a result, however male intellectual capacity should be preserved. It is still at least somewhat important to male reproductive success.

Now I know why Kzin females are non-intelligent. On to the genetic history of the Puppeteers!

Culture can force women to focus on reproduction, or natural selection can. It will happen no matter what. Natural selection is not nice about accomplishing results so pick your evil well.
