Sex-biased reduction in reproductive success drives selective constraint on human genes
Genome-wide sequencing of human populations has revealed substantial variation among genes in the intensity of purifying selection acting on damaging genetic variants. While genes under the strongest selective constraint are highly enriched for Mendelian disorders, most of these genes are not...

When looking at carriers of defective genes, women are 2 times more likely to reproduce and pass on their defective genes than men.
By defective they mean schizophrenia, autism, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, bipolar disorder, lower educational attainment, lower general intelligence and any sort of intellectual disability.
The whole eugenics based argument of "teehee women will improve the genepool you inkel :^)" has been btfo. Women pollute the fuck out of the genepool so that eugenics shit can gtfo
Here we show that genetic variants that damage these genes reduce reproductive success substantially in males but much less so in females. We present evidence that this reduction is mediated by cognitive and behavioural traits, which renders male carriers of such variants less likely to find mating partners.
