It's one of many studies that demonstrate empirically that women are more empathic than men. My assumption is that the difference relates to genetics but what matters is that there is an observable difference that will have an impact in the

But the question is not about whether some men are suited to the job. It's about who is on average more suited to a particular type of job. It is well established scientifically that women are - generally speaking - so I would prefer to s

But perhaps not an appropriate response to scientific fact. Countless psychological studies have documented women's higher innate capacities for communication and empathy. So if you disagree on that fact, you are simply misinformed. What I'

I disagree that men are better at disciplining children than women are.

You're defining 'successful' in monetary terms while I'm more concerned with the psychological health of the working environment. I'm saying women are better managers because they are less prone to the types of socially tone-deaf interperso

More men are not needed in childcare/teaching because women are naturally - from birth - better at the type of empathy and communication that is required in those fields. It's the same reason that women excel in technology management roles

I think you're right that outright theft of the car is unlikely. But the advantage that Zipcar has over this p2p system is Zipcar personnel can keep a log of everything related to a vehicle - the condition of all of its parts and a full inv

I'm not sure why you were downvoted either but I suspect it was for the same reason I was for asking similar questions. As you point out from the faq, the onus seems to be on the owner and the only consequence for the dirtiness is the abili

I'd not be at all keen to loan my car to some random stranger Neither would I. Nor would I want to type "rental car" into Youtube if I ever decided to participate in this program. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyjbmOVcbHI

You're right. The "marginal difference", as you say, is key. So let's assume theft of parts happens rarely. Don't we still need a process in place to adjudicate when it does happen? Let's say the theft is not of a water pump but a car radio

Sounds like you live in an affluent or at least broadly educated area, if people broadly have such high-minded concerns about the welfare of the community. Your experience may not translate to more economically-mixed neighborhoods.

Normal rental car companies have employees whose job it is to maintain the car, fix any cosmetic damages and notify the administrative unit if they believe a significant damage or theft has taken place. However, this is a different situatio

I wonder how easy it would be for someone to sign up with fake id, pass the screening process and then steal a really nice car. Or, worse, remove some of its engine parts and replace them with cheaper ones. Do I need to tag each part in the

I don't think any of these papers should be behind a paywall in the first place. But that's another matter.

Sure. You can disrupt someone on the toilet, at the dinner table, in bed, etc, etc. Very disruptive indeed.

Agreed. That's the most fun I've ever had reading statistics.
