Men and Women are from the same planet after all

IN the battle of the sexes it may be time for a truce. A study has found that the differences between men and women have been vastly overestimated.

The study was prompted by the perception that men and women think differently about the world and their place in it — as characterised in bestselling books such as Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus.

"Hyde analysed the studies by recalculating the data from them so they were comparable."

Yes, a woman with an agenda.

And this lady's from Pluto. It's not just about math scores.

I think they run the experiment to "prove" their conclusions. There's a wonderful little book out called "How to Lie With Statistics." It's very short and once you've read it, you'll never believe another study again. It boggles the mind the lengths people will go to convince others of something.
