Not from what I have seen in science and engineering! Women typically meet minimum standards then claim wild success. I have met some women who were the best but they are very rare. They are usually superficial in their knowledge. I have a lady on my team that can keep up with anyone on a technical basis and she makes for a good pilot, too, but she is unique in my experiences.

That said, women really are the best multitaskers bar none and excel in many career fields. Take my wife, a clinical social worker in a hospital. I don’t think too many men can perform that level of clinical work and keep it all straight without screwing it up by dropping things. Even with nursing women make the best nurses all around as they can keep multiple patients together at once and never seem to break a sweat. But for some reason, tell them what they are doing is “technical” and they seem to tune out. They certainly have the brains so I don’t know why they run away from technical and scientific studies except maybe they are taught at a young age that mechanical things are for boys.
