Having dodged soccer moms careening down the road while blabbing on the cell and yelling at kids in theback for years, I can say with some authority that women aren’t quite as good at “multitasking” as they imagine themselves to be.
Or, perhaps entering visuospatial skills or the lack of them into the mix is the problem?
Allowing children to misbehave in vehicles-a warning before leaving the house, and following up on it worked for me- and talking on phone/putting on makeup/eating from a bowl/reading while operating a vehicle is not multitasking-it is willfully stupid, and we all know stupid can’t be fixed.
I worked for years where vocational evaluation was done, and women are indeed better at multitasking work. They also have better intuitive and verbal skills Men are better at determining/understanding spatial relationships, and have better higher math skills-hence, they make better engineers and do better in physics, etc. Men have superior size and strength, women have better fine motor dexterity.
The two genders are made to complement each other, physically and mentally-we ought to be capitalizing on that, not blurring the lines...
