I didn't say it. Science did.
"The study put forward by Dr. Keith Witt, a clinical psychologist, argued that as cognition is thought to be influenced by the X chromosome because women possess two X chromosomes and men possess one X and one Y, women are more likely to affect development.
To test this theory they administered predominately maternal genetic material to genetically emodified mice and found they developed a disproportionately larger cranium and brain, with a smaller body.
When they did the same with the paternal genetic material they found the subjects had a larger body, but a smaller cranium and brain.
They also failed to discover any paternal genetic material within the cerebral cortex, which is the area responsible for executive functioning such as planning, advanced thinking, and languages.
After observing their intellectual developments, they found the mother’s IQ was the best predictor for how intelligent the child would be.
While no study can be scientifically proven right, there appears to be mounting evidence that points to women and mother having more of an influence on intelligence.
This counts to other factors that influence a child’s intelligence.
Nourishment and nurture are known to be hugely important to mental development, two areas that are traditionally managed by a mother."
