I'm not lost, we're just not there yet:
Science exposes the fallacy about men and asking for directions
From the 2006 National Geographic-Roper Survey of Geographic Literacy:
Amen. If men really were lost, we'd still be out there somewhere.
No?
From the total of 53 factual questions, men got an average of 30.2 answers right, versus 27.0 correct for women. Looking at specific types of questions, there is no significant difference between women's and men's performance on questions requiring map reading skills, and they give similar answers - both right and wrong ones - on a majority of the factual questions. Yet men score better on matching countries with their continent, and on finding countries on the Asia, Middle East and world maps. For instance, 17% of men get all four countries included in this survey on the Middle East map right, compared to 11% of women.
Amen. If men really were lost, we'd still be out there somewhere.
No?
