Male and female mean IQs are about equal below the age of 15 but males have a higher mean IQ from age 15 on.

Dear oh dear.
Why lie about this? There are so many valid reasons to criticize feminism.
Oh, Bible Study? That explains things.
Even if we assumed that IQ tests were fit to measure intelligence (ahahahah, I kill myself sometimes), you are, in fact, wrong. And not just wrong, but wrong in a way that's the OPPOSITE of right.
WOMEN have the higher mean IQ of the genders, while men have a flatter, broader curve. That would mean (if IQ tests were useful for anything) that the dumber men were dumber than the dumber women, the smarter men were smarter than the smarter women, and that there were more women than men of average intelligence.
For fucks...
There is a greater instance of extreme highs in the male IQ, but offset by an even greater number of extreme lows. The female IQ has a much more stable average that actually comes out slightly higher.
But as always you are by default a moron to judge somebody's abilities by anything other than unbiased personal observation at the individual level and even then such comparison is not measurable to a strict concrete scale. Creativity and logic for example are not inextricably linked so while one may have creative genius but have the reasoning of a two year old a flawlessly logical mind may display all the original thought of a brick.
"males have a higher mean IQ from age 15 on."
So from age 15 on, females have a kinder, gentler IQ?
Last I read, there was a discrepancy between the genders, but the difference was so small that it was negligible. If you try to use a difference of about 3 points of IQ to discriminate based on gender, then you are a moron.

Do you know why I'm an ardent Feminist Sweetride?
It's shit like this, and people like you that convinced me that feminism is the way to go. Most of my friends are female, and some of the best people I know
I want a world where I know they will be treated with respect, payed what their worth, have control of their own bodies without interference from the government or private sector. I want a world where I don't have to see shit like this, and asshats like caamib, Steve, Roosh V, and all of their ilk trying to demean them and belittle them.
What's sad is that you have to get your jollies and feelings of power from demeaning women. You're pathetic Sweetride, and not worth a second thought.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
