perhaps women on LW (high IQ correlates with androgynous traits) are more androgynous (male if you want to put it that way) personality wise
The rest of your comment seems to suggest the word you want is masculine and not androgynous perhaps? Androgynous means having both masculine and feminine characteristics.
Anyway, do you have any studies which show the correlation of high IQ with masculine (or androgynous, if you do actually mean that) traits? Cursory googling didn’t turn up much, but yes, I wasn’t trying too hard.

I am not talking about IQ in that post. I said personality. In any case high IQ is not the defining characteristic of LessWrong posters, though I admit probably some think it is. Above average IQ however for all intents and purposes basically is a prerequisite. Thought obviously women probably have less variance in IQ scores than men, I don’t think this is the limiting factor for the site.
Was only responding to this bit from your original post: “high IQ correlates with androgynous traits”, without making any assumption of either the average IQ or the personality traits of LWers.

Females with male characteristics are more androgynous. Just as males with female characteristics are.

Ah I see! What I mean by that is that both high IQ males and females tend to be more androgynous. .
