What are you implying by posting that?
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoI think it's pretty obvious what they're implying. Problem is, it's just a lazy argument. From the article: When tested on mental rotation tasks, men averaged 66 percent correct compared to 53 percent correct for women. So the average man may be better than the average woman at these tasks, but it's not a dramatic difference to my mind, and individual women can certainly be excellent at this kind of spatial reasoning, just like individual men can be terrible at it. Not surprisingly, the Navy actually tests people for these skills and gives them extensive initial and ongoing training. If you can't do this job because your brain doesn't work that way, regardless of gender, it's rather unlikely that you'll have the job in the long run.
