Intelligence comes in different colors. Put a man and then a women in a strange room then see who remembers more when questioned. Women multitask better, (try to beat them at Scrabble!), but as most jobs are single goal oriented it makes men look better.

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.

Better verbal skills? Doesn't mean multitasking, IMHO.
