Everything that relates to outlier characteristics will disproportionately affect more boys than girls. The more extreme the outlier the much more likely it will be a boy.
This is just basic human biology that like the GP mentioned is routinely deliberately ignored by feminism.

I think the GP is referring to differences in standard deviation, not mean, which causes the larger-deviation population to dominate at both the left and right tails.

I'm not saying the theory is right or wrong, only that people seem to have a much harder time understanding a theory based off of same means but different standard deviations than a theory based off of different means.
