Well they don't cite a single source so it's impossible to check how confused the author is about what they're actually reporting (experience with this kind of article inclines me to say they're likely very confused). Reliability of this particular article aside there are well documented differences between the biological sexes. One such case which might have social consequences is differences in IQ (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289603000539). The average of the sexes is equal but males have greater deviation from the norm (more men at top and bottom). However as bcbm pointed out there's no finding out there which lends support to the idea of a superior sex. Any attempt to ever make such a claim has stepped well beyond a scientific claim and into the land of normative debate.
