I'm not dealing in blanket generalizations as you are in several of your
statements ("women do lag behind men in these areas, but it is because
those areas are not stressed as being important in their younger
lives...."), I'm dealing with scientific measurement (brain size) and the
results of numerous scientific studies (behavorial science) and I even go
far enough to claim what I postulate as not being a blanket generalization
(I acknowledge that some women can perform exceptionally in male-wired
tasks).
Why is it that women always seek something to complain about rather than
accept things at face value?

the rare woman can
perform expertly at such tasks but that's the exception

Bull pucky....yes, women do lag behind men in these areas, but it is
because
those areas are not stressed as being important in their younger
lives....there is no reason on earth why tying a knot or running rigging
would be a difficult task for MOST women if shown how....yes, there are
inherent genetic dispositions that are different for men and women, but
these differences are not that far apart and certainly don't preclude some
ability...blanket generalizations sometimes indicate a bigoted
attitude....

That is not a generalization, that is a fact, supported by numerous
educational studies regarding the emphasis on teaching math in secondary
grades...you look them up...they're there...

I;I'm not complaining...I'm correcting your erroneous viewpoint...I take
most thing s at face value...

Katy, you might want to consider ignoring this particular sockpuppet.
Seems like he's pushing your buttons, and it's early.
