quote ( which reminded me of a joke)
Men tend to be better at certain spatial tasks, which require a lot of neurons; women tend to be better at verbal tasks, which require fewer neurons.
Comment: Hmmm. He's very careful not to say that men are smarter than women, but this one gets a bit close.
By the way, the joke was about a boss I had a long time ago. I didn't say it, but somebody else did. It went something like this: he has a 100 mph mouth and a 5 mph brain. But that was a "he", not a "she". A certain glibness doesn't not equate to higher intelligence, but that is often the way people think. Ah, I am reminded of this old saying, possibly attributable to Abraham Lincoln: Better to be quiet and look stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
