Why do men average higher IQ's, and SAT scores?

Men average approximately 4 points high on IQ tests worldwide, and approx. 35 points higher on the SAT. Even on the verbal section of the SAT, men scored 9 points high on average. Please, someone explain this to me.Why do men average higher IQ's, and SAT scores?
Men worldwide don't take the SAT! I know in Ireland for the Leaving Cert (the exam that qualifies you for graduation/college from secondary school) girls on average score higher than boys in every subject but maths.
The tests are written by men and therefore skewed toward men, no matter what precautions they take to prevent that.
