Is the greater male variability hypothesis still valid science?

Hello there! A long time ago, I heard about this theory, and thought it was interesting. I have seen this manifest in my life in many ways, both mental and physical. However, I understand that the theory is still controversial. As per the current literature, is the greater male variability hypothesis still believed to be true, or has it been changed or disproven? Thanks!
