When I said "that study" I in fact meant the article by Deborah Cameron in which she talked about generalising male and female chattiness ratios with a 1:1 male-female chat. While the pretty ambiguous findings COULD mean that "men talk more than women" (and probably does) there's a logical fallacy at work.

Still that's informative if not shocking.<BR/>As for male-female diffs besides the(small) ones you list another one is that men usually find it easiet to rotate shapes mentally.

I have been in countless arguments with people about the 'women can't park/read maps/focus on one thing for more than 30 seconds' bullshit since seemingly the beginning of time. Since the start these theories have caused my bullshit-o-meter to go off the chart because it's always the case that women can't do positive, active, practical MAN stuff like read maps, park Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-168458041332941999.post-91039886943881492742008-02-23T07:32:00.000-05:002008-02-23T07:32:00.000-05:00I love seeing these things deconstructed.

"women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion, while men have a small country road" I don't know how someone could say that with a straight face. That is so insulting to men, and just not true. Also, anyone who regularly has conversations with men can tell you that men talk a lot.
