Your mileage may vary. Generally, all of this is true, but...

I handle spatial problems easily. My ex husband, the chemical engineer, was a lost soul at this kind of thing; I was always way ahead of him with a practical solution.

A lot of women exasperate me with their inability to read maps; people come to me because I can draw such clear maps to guide them to unfamiliar places.

The exceptions are out there. I can visualize and solve problems in three dimensions, and write fiction to bring a sincere (not maudlin) tear to the eye.

Making assumptions based on studies like these carry some risk if the generalities are regarded as absolutes.

Yes, and I'm sure that somewhere there's a woman who could drag a 230 pound man out of a burning building.

Just as long as you don't conclude that therefore half of all firefighers must be women since women constitute half of the general population!
