I had once heard that in terms of IQ women (particularly in the past) had been more susceptible to loss, for the most part because even though a woman may have been educated, when it was the expectation that she stay home and look after the children (and that it would be the entirety of her career thence forth), she would lose the stimuli that the rest of the world would offer. Not only that, but you are constantly working with people who may or may not know how to talk, and trying to relate to them as best you can, which often means picking up a more primitive mindset.
Don't get me wrong, I love* children, but it's so hard to not* adopt the baby talk or to have their actions/location/well-being constantly on your mind, even when it's not your expected occupation as it once was. It's so important to try to keep the mind stimulated, any time.
