Testosterone exposure in the womb... for male and female babies? This just doesn't make sense

Women do have testosterone, albeit at much lower levels. Primary production site is the ovaries.

An interesting extension study would be to compare women with high aptitude for right-brain type functions with those with lower aptitude while measuring the testosterone levels of each and see if there is any correlation. If intelligence is sizably set by free testosterone in the womb, this may not be indicative but it is an interesting data point.

Point - remember even if true, this does not mean men are smarter than women, there are more factors here than just testosterone. But it could be an interesting correlation in why women - in general - have a higher left-brain emotional intelligence than men and vice versa.
