On the contrary, there is some evidence that certain types of female social equality are potentially dysgenic, at least in terms of intelligence, as intelligence is negatively correlated with fertility among modern samples of Western women. This relationship is wholly mediated by women's greater educational attainment, that is women who delay reproduction to focus on higher education have substantially lower fertility than those (generally less intelligent women) who do not.<ref>https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/twin-research-and-human-genetics/article/how-intelligence-affects-fertility-30-years-on-retherford-and-sewell-revisited-with-polygenic-scores-and-numbers-of-grandchildren/AB8EF68EE05C8DFD0A1C424B4FF7BC1F</ref> | On the contrary, there is some evidence that certain types of female social equality are potentially dysgenic, at least in terms of intelligence, as intelligence is negatively correlated with fertility among modern samples of Western women.
