What bunk! I can read maps. I can read nautical charts. I'm the navigator.

OK, for the next study we show that women can't differentiate between an article about general trends in groups of people, and a statement about them personally.

Oh, so it's "general trends," huh? This is the title: "Women On Road To Nowhere (Study Finds Women Can't Read Maps)"

It doesn't say "some women." It says "women can't read maps." I'd say it's more like "sweeping generalizations."

BTW, there are few landmarks when one is out at sea. Does the person who did the study suggest I count waves to get us back to port, say, "look for a wave that has a big pointy thing at the top & follow that one?"

LOL.

Well, here is another chick that can, in fact, read a map. Now we are a trend!

Plus... this study is about Canadian women. They're different.

LOL, so true.

Thanks for posting what I was thinking.

I have never, traditionally, been able to do the north-south, east-west thing. But being a math major, it seemed important in some way. I taught myself how to do it. I have to picture a map of the US, then flip the map around to the correct position. I am never wrong now. But it was an acquired skill. And not easy to do at 75 mph.
