Who
agrees with this?
This article was not written by
yours truly; and truth be told, I don’t think I should agree with this writer
intoto, as in ehhh, is he/she trying to justify the saying that what a man can
do, a woman can do it even better or what? Lol! Abeg, shit commot… #just
kidding.
But, what will I say now and I wouldn’t
offend some feminists….so I better seal my lips and allow you to judge the

We're still annoyed at the recent
study that found men throw better than women (we know puh-lenty of women who
can out-throw men). That said, there are tons of studies proving women have
some amazing abilities that men lack. So, we rounded up some of our favorites.
Hello, ego boost!
1.
We learn better.
A study done at the University of
Georgia and Columbia University found that women are better learners—basically,
we have a better approach to expanding our minds. And, according to
researchers, women tend to be more attentive, flexible, and organized. So at
work, you're more likely to understand the task at hand better than your male
coworker. Booyah.
2.
We're smarter.
According to a study of IQ tests
from around the world, women have higher IQs than men. Researcher James Flynn
checked out the IQs of people from the U.S., Europe, Canada, New Zealand,
Argentine, and Estonia, and found that women came out on top. Score.
3.
We're cleaner.
A study from San Diego State University of
offices across the U.S. found that men's desks and offices are germier than
women's. Researchers discovered that men had anywhere from 10 to 20 percent
more bacteria in their workspaces than women-and scientists say it's because
they tend to be less hygenic. Ick.
4.
We interview better.
A new study out of the University of Western
Ontario found that women are better at handling the stress of a job interview.
Researchers found that, while women get more freaked beforehand about
interviewing, we do better in the actual event. Why? We prepare more before the
big moment.
5.
We evolve hotter.
A recent study revealed that women are getting
better looking through evolution; meanwhile, men are staying the same. After
following more than 2,000 people through four decades of life, the study showed
that attractive women had 16 percent more children than average-looking chicks
and that beautiful people are 36 percent more likely to have a daughter as
their firstborn. All those gorgeous daughters mean more beautiful women than in
past generations.
6.
We survive car accidents more often.
This is sad but true: Men are 77 percent more
likely to die in a car accident than women, according to a study done by
Carnegie Mellon University. Our boyfriends should be thanking us when we nag
them to "Wear your seatbelt!"
7.
We're better at seeking comfort.
A Mind survey of 2,000 people revealed that
women are far more likely than men to talk through their problems. Fifty-three
percent of women talk to their friends about what's stressing them out, as
opposed to 29 percent of men.
8.
We're more recession-proof.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
80 percent of those who have lost their jobs since December 2007 have been men.
Ouch. This could be because male-dominated fields have been hit the hardest,
like manufacturing and finance. That really sucks...but hey, maybe it's time
more men became nurses and educators.
9.
We graduate college more often.
We already know that female enrollment is
higher than male, but the Department of Education's statistics reveal that men
are also less likely than women to graduate and get their bachelor's degrees.
Men are also more likely to take longer than five years to complete their
degree.
10.
We eat healthier.
A survey of more than 14,000 people, conducted
by the University of Minnesota, showed that women choose far healthier foods
than men. While men are more likely to chow down on frozen pizza and red meat,
women are piling fruits and veggies onto their plates. It all sounds pretty
obvious, but we get so much grief for our chocolate addictions that we just had
to point this one out!
11.
We have stronger immune systems.
No wonder men act like such babies when they
have a sniffle - women really do have stronger immune systems than men! If
there are little battles going on in our bodies, women have a secret weapon:
estrogen. A study done by McGill University indicated that estrogen gives women
an edge when it comes to fighting off infections. That's because estrogen
confronts a certain enzyme that often hinders the body's first line of defense
against bacteria and viruses.
12.
We live longer.
Among the world's population of those who are
over 100 years old, 85 percent are women, according to the New England
Centenarian Study. In general, women continue to live five to 10 years longer
than men as well.
13.
We're better managers, especially in this economy.
This one is a little controversial, but a slew
of experts are confident that women make greater bosses because they are better
listeners, mentors, problem solvers, and multitaskers than their male
counterparts. In a recent Daily News article, management expert Jay Forte said,
"It's a very service-oriented economy [right now], so you need employees
to be motivated. Women are better connectors than men and more astute about
knowing how to activate passion in their employees."
14.
We invest better.
A study of 100,000 portfolios showed that
women's investment returns outperform men's, 18 percent to 11 percent. This
could be because women are typically more cautious with their investment
decisions and think longer term.
