Women often have careers interrupted by being mothers.
Men typically can work right through.
When women have worked straight through, I've read they have earned more money and gone as high or higher than a similar guy.
So, despite what the Prof says about IQ, it is the interruption of motherhood that has made a difference in the workplace IMO.

men's brains weighed, on average, 100 grams more than women's. I wonder if he was counting man's second brain - you know - the one that is in his "other head".
Don't know if that one contributes to IQ, though.

I wonder if picking the brain is related to brushing up on something... hmm... perhaps we could comb the internet for further information on this question...

Intelligence comes in different colors. Very true!
Women multitask better
But you're guilty of generalizing just as much here. I don't know if this statement of yours is true.
(try to beat them at Scrabble!)
Better verbal skills? Doesn't mean multitasking, IMHO.

If he's counting, then he should make a subtraction for it.

Women also have much better memories. For example, I have an ex-wife who's memory is so good that she remembers things that never even happened.
To: Emmett McCarthy
LOL!
My husband has one of those too.

If you watch themedia, you already KNOW that white men are evil and have caused every bruise or scratch ever received.
