Women multitask better, (try to beat them at Scrabble!) Hey, waittaminute! I'm the usual Scrabble winner in our family. (And I'm the one still waiting for the Christmas/Birthday present above all others -- an Oxford English Dictionary! On CD-ROM, please...)

"Very likely" as Rushton uses the term is as close to "the facts" as one gets.

I think it depends on how you define intelligence. Men and women do tend to process information in different ways. It's my belief that men do have a greter capacity to process data and extrapolate from it however women have a greater capacity to process emotion and extrapolate from it.
Does that make women stupid? Hardly. It means their brains process information with a greater nuance for emotion and feeling than men which is useful for the tasks they are often given (child-raising, teaching, nursing, etc.) while men process information with more indifference which is useful for some of the tasks they are often given (science, medicine, engineering, etc.).
To say one or the other is "more intelligent" is oversimplifying. And, of course, I am speaking in generalities here. Not all women nor all men process information alike or process information with or without emotion.

A study by a

Wait 'til he gets home and the old lady gets a piece of him. If he's smart, he won't go home.

LOL!
That's funny, I don't care who you are...
God bless men!
I look forward to the day when I have the spare time and energy required to have an intimate relationship with one again.
They can bring immeasurable joy into a woman's life!
But it is a huge responsibility to actually "own" one, and their constant demands for care and attention dwarf those of canine ownership, which I also eschew at this time, out of simple fairness and knowledge of what is actually involved in caring for their day to day existence.
Sigh...some day.

Maybe they are brains. I'll be able to tell after a long and thorough examination.

Chicks end up with all the money because they work hard and lay egg after egg, day in and day out, while the roosters strut and crow.
