I handle spatial problems easily. My ex husband, the chemical engineer, was a lost soul at this kind of thing

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!

Never. That's silly. There are a few women with the size and upper body strength to carry an adult out of a burning building, but not many. If I need rescuing I don't want a 109 pound 5 foot woman to drag my half-dead body out of the building.

But I don't want to be denied even an interview for a position requiring logical, linear, spatial thinking, either, just because many of my sisters are lost souls at that kind of thing.
