Posted: 11/8/2009 3:03:00 AM | Hate to say it but I think maybe they are! Women possess this natural gift for what’s commonly become known as ‘multi-tasking’ i.e. the ability to use both sides of the brain at once, something we men are just not wired to do!
Let me give you an example of this amazing talent in action. I once had a girlfriend who could - shave her legs, talk on the phone, smoke a cigarette, butter toast and pick her nose all at the same time, quite a lady huh! Sadly though, for me all the romance soon fizzled out, can’t think why….
Anyhow I once tried this multi-tasking thing myself, I tried to walk and chew gum at the same time, result – disaster, walked straight into a lamppost! Hurt like hell, three stitches and a thumping headache, never again! Conclusive evidence of mans dumb inability to multi-task!
So what’s the verdict are women the superior sex? | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 3:10:08 AM | i can walk talk chew gum and pi$$ people off at the same time, is that multitasking?
Where as women can multi task, it is proven that they have trouble with more logical calls such as distance, depth percepton, size of cars. and general concentration, while women will walk all around a hop to see whats happening, men will go in get what they need and bugger off. just the way both are built.
both have their good and bad points, but i wouldn't say they are superior. no chance, i'm an equal opertunities kinda guy. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 3:12:12 AM | I am forced to agree with the OP, because my screen name came from a cartoon in the New Yorker magazine which featured an ordinary-looking guy slumped in an armchair with a far-away look on his face. The caption simply said "Zero-tasking!"
Somehow it fitted me perfectly.
However, I think that zero-tasking is a very special and worthwhile activity that should be appreciated, even respected, for the skill and dedication that it requires. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 3:13:24 AM | Yes, women can do a number of things simultaneously, but will those things be done to a good enough standard?
Honestly, I've never read anything so sucky-uppy in my life. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 3:16:29 AM | Don't know about superior but certainly the stronger.
Females suffer from very few sex linked genetic illnesses.
Women generally live longer.
More boys are born as infant mortality for male children is higher. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 3:25:27 AM | Interesting theory re: gender mortality rates.
Or perhaps husbands die before their wives simply because they want to?
Cynical? Moi? | |

Hate to say it but I think maybe they are! Women possess this natural gift for what’s commonly become known as ‘multi-tasking’ i.e. the ability to use both sides of the brain at once, something we men are just not wired to do! Isn't that a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy? I mean, if you're convinced that you can't multi-task, would you bother to try?
I think it's a myth that has its origins in traditional roles: There was a time, certainly here in the west, when most women were either housewives or secretaries; both mutli-talented jobs requiring high levels of organisational skills. At the same time, most managers were men and maybe that wasn't a muti-tasking job in the fifties but it sure as hell is now so even if it were ever really true that woman were better multi-taskers than men, the men have caught up because we had to.
Let me give you an example of this amazing talent in action. I once had a girlfriend who could - shave her legs, talk on the phone, smoke a cigarette, butter toast and pick her nose all at the same time, quite a lady huh! Sadly though, for me all the romance soon fizzled out, can’t think why… And I guess many women could give you examples of men who can drink a can of lager, have sex, explain the offside rule and fart loudly all at the same time.
Anyhow I once tried this multi-tasking thing myself, I tried to walk and chew gum at the same time, result – disaster, walked straight into a lamppost! Hurt like hell, three stitches and a thumping headache, never again! Conclusive evidence of mans dumb inability to multi-task! Or simply of your not taking every factor into account when trying to prove a point. Women are equally capable of such errors.
So what’s the verdict are women the superior sex? Women are better at some things than men, men are better at some things than women, and they're equally good at quite a lot of things too. In my experience, multi-tasking is an ability that separates humans from animals, not men from women. | |

well off the top of my head ........here's just a few............
Marie Curie.....Her achievements include the creation of a theory of radioactivity (a term coined by her[2]), techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two new elements, polonium and radium. It was also under her personal direction that the world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms (cancers), using radioactive isotopes
Lillian Moller Gilbreth was an inventor, author, industrial engineer, industrial psychologist, and mother of twelve children. A pioneer in ergonomics, Gilbreth patented many kitchen appliances including an electric food mixer, shelves inside refrigerator doors, and the famous trash can with a foot-pedal lid-opener. Lillian Gilbreth is best known for her work to help workers in industry with her classic Time & Motion Studies, which supported work simplification and industrial efficiency. Lillian Gilbreth was one of the first scientists to recognized the effects of stress and lack of sleep on the worker.
Grace Hopper (1906-1992) was one of the first programmers to transform large digital computers from oversized calculators into relatively intelligent machines capable of understanding "human" instructions. Hopper invented the first computer "compiler" in 1952. A compiler is software that makes other computer software called programming languages easier to write. Computer programmers had been required to write programming instructions in binary code, a series of 0's and 1's. Grace Hopper's compiler allowed programmers to use more human sounding language commands to replace repetitive commands.
Grace Hopper also developed a common language with which computers could communicate called Common Business-Oriented Language or COBOL, now the most widely used computer business language in the world. COBOL enabled firms large and small to compile computerized payroll, billing, and other records.
and.........another quite surprising one........... Hedy Lamarr - a famous 1940s actress not formally trained as an engineer, Lamarr is credited with several sophisticated inventions, among them a unique anti-jamming device for use against Nazi radar. Years after her patent had expired, Sylvania adapted the design for a device that today speeds satellite communications around the world. She is also credited with the line: "Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid | |

Great response:
Watson and Crick only discovered the DNA helix after stealing reseach from a woman called Rosalind Franklin.
There have been a number of women that have made huge contributions to science but it has only been since the 20th century that women have had access to academia
One reason women have not been credited or known for inventions and progresses in the sciences (or politics, etc.) is that they were not allowed to participate until fairly recently. | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 5:34:13 AM | A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.
Women never have anything to wear. Don't question the racks of clothes in the closet; you 'just don't understand'.
Women need to cry. And they won't do it alone unless they know you can hear them.
Women will always ask questions that have no right answer, in an effort to trap you into feeling guilty.
Women love to talk. Silence intimidates them and they feel a need to fill it, even if they have nothing to say.
Women can't keep secrets. They eat away at them from the inside. And they don't view it as being untrustworthy, providing they only tell two or three people.
Women think all beer is the same.
If a man goes on a seven-day trip, he'll pack five days worth of clothes and will wear some things twice; if a woman goes on a seven-day trip she'll pack 21 outfits because she doesn't know what she'll feel like wearing each day.
Women are never wrong. Apologizing is the man's responsibility, 'It's there in the Bible'. Hmmm, who was it that gave Adam the apple?
Women do not know anything about cars. 'Oil-stick, oil doesn't stick?'
The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.
Women love to talk on the phone. A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, or get the mail.
Women will drive miles out of their way to avoid the possibility of getting lost using a shortcut.
Women will make three right-hand turns to avoid making one left-hand turn.
Women cannot use a map without turning the map to correspond to the direction that they are heading.
If it is not Valentines day and you see a man in a flower shop, you can probably start up a conversation by asking, 'What did you do?' Only women understand the reason for 'guest towels' and the 'good china'.
Women will spend hours dressing up to go out, and then they'll go out and spend more time checking out other women. Men can never catch women checking out other men; women will always catch men checking out other women.
The most embarrassing thing for women is to find another woman wearing the same dress at a formal party. You don't hear men say, 'Oh-my-GOD, there's another man wearing a black tux, get me out of here!'
A man is walking down a beach, and accidentally kicks a bottle out of the sand. He opens the bottle, and a genie appears. The genie said, "I am so grateful to get out of that bottle that I will grant you one wish. I can only grant one." The man thought for a while and finally said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. I've never been able to go because airplanes are much too frightening for me and boats make me seasick. So I wish for a road to be built from here to Hawaii." The genie thought for a few minutes and said, "No, I can't do it. Imagine all the work involved. All the piling to hold up the highway needed and all the pavement. Ask for something else." "Well," the man said. "I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with. Basically, what makes them tick." The genie considered this for a couple of minutes and said, "So, do you want that road two lanes or four?"
One bright, beautiful Sabbath morning everyone in the tiny Midwestern town got up early and went to the local church. Before the services started the towns people were sitting in their pews when suddenly Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the exit, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from the evil incarnate. Soon everyone evacuated from the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew. He was not moving and seemed oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
Now, this confused and irritated the Devil a little bit, so he walked up to the man and said, "Don't you know who I am?" "Yep, sure do," replied the elderly gentleman. Satan asked, "Aren't you afraid of me?" "Nope, sure ain't ," the gentleman replied. Satan, a little more perturbed at this, asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?" The man calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."
How many men does it take to open a can of pop? None. It should be open when the woman gives it to you.
Bachelors should be heavily taxed. It's not fair that some men should be happier than others.
A woman reported the disappearance of her husband to the police. The officer in charge looked at the photograph she handed him, questioned her, and then asked if she wished to give her husband any message if they found him. "Yes," she quickly replied. "Tell him...Mother didn't come after all."
Sarah was reading a newspaper, while her husband was engrossed in a magazine. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. "Listen to this," she said. "There's a classified ad here where a guy is offering to swap his wife for a season ticket to the stadium." "Hmmm," her husband said, not looking up from his magazine. Teasing him, Sarah said, "Would you swap me for a season ticket?" "Absolutely not," he said. "How sweet," Sarah said. "Tell me why not." "Season's more than half over," he said.
Q: Why can't women drive? A: There ain't no road between the kitchen and the bedroom!
Q: Why don't women need watches? A: Duh!! There's a clock on the stove.
Q: Why did the woman cross the road? A: Forget that, why is she out of the kitchen?!!
There weree three women walking on a beach and they find a bottle laying in the sand they rub it and a genie pops out. The genie says ill give you all 1 wish. The first women thinks and says I wish I was the smartest women in the world. The genie say poof ok wish granted your the smartest women in the world. The next women says I want to be ten times smarter than the smartest women in the world. The genie says poof wish granted. The next women thinks then says I wish I was one-hundred times smarter than the women ten times smarter than the smartest women in the world. The genis says poof and makes her a man. | |

Females suffer from very few sex linked genetic illnesses.
That's probably because they get called in by the health service for regular check ups - smear tests and mamograms etc where other things are also detected. I am 53 - have I ever been offered a check up or prostate check by my GP or the NHS (despite more men dying of prostate cancer than women suffering breast cancer) - nope. When I asked at my GPs for a prostate check they looked at me as if I was mad....
So maybe a bit of inequality in healthcare creeps in there.
Otherwise - women are always in charge and typically very and naturally smart about it too, because invariably they let you think they are not.  | |

Posted: 11/8/2009 5:54:28 AM | | This seems to be developing into a them vs us thread. I thought the OP was just being silly, not serious. I would think that any actual superiority of one gender over another cannot be assessed by empirical standards. Such a determination would necessarily be subjective and arguable. If you just want to argue, carry on. I do find it curious that people come on a dating site only to argue with and sling insults at the opposite sex. Or....maybe I'm missing something about British humor...? | |
