Is there anything women are naturally better at?

[Danger Exhumed]

Besides pleasing a man and giving birth?

We definitely don't need all 4 billion or so women giving birth, that would be terrible.

And don't say raising children because I don't believe single mothers are better than men at that.

[Good Sir]

Here is a list of things followed by actual evidence, I hope this helps!


…dealing with a broken heart

A survey of over 1,000 singles published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior found that men suffer more after a split and dwell longer on the breakup.

…driving

Male motorists have a 77 percent higher risk of dying in a car crash than women, according to a Carnegie Mellon University study. In New York City, a 2010 traffic study found that, over the previous five years, 80 percent of all crashes in which pedestrians were seriously injured involved men behind the wheel.

…being a student

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, colleges graduate 185 women for every 100 men. It’s estimated that by 2016, 61 percent of bachelor’s, 63 percent of master’s and 58 percent of doctoral degrees will go to women.

…giving directions

Undercover researchers from Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia asked a group of men and women for directions to popular tourist destinations (knowing full well how to get there) and found that the women were more adept at giving the instructions. They believe the women took time to think through the process and not make wild, inaccurate guesses the way the men were prone to do.

…investing

Men are more likely to sell their shares of stock at the wrong time, upping their losses, says a 2009 study by investment management company Vanguard. What’s more, a study of men’s and women’s portfolios between 2003 and 2004 found that the average woman’s portfolio rose 10 percent that year—3 points higher than the rise of the entire market and 4 points higher than the average man’s.

…remembering things

Two recent studies show that women scored 5 percent higher on tests of verbal memory and face recall respectively than their male counterparts. Also, a 2008 study from Sweden found that women were better at remembering words, objects and pictures.

…hammering

Women were 10 percent more accurate at pounding on a mechanical plate that measured force and accuracy, says research from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.



…newscasting


Swiss researchers had 160 subjects watch newscasts and then asked them to fill out questionnaires about the broadcast. The findings indicate that people think news reported by female newscasters is more credible.
