PARKING DEFICIENCIES...(treading on thin ice)
You won't find me saying I told you so...
Really, though, it's not that far-fetched that men are better than women at some things(perhaps parking or map reading, maybe power-lifting), while women are better than men at others (pretty much everything else, and everything important). That kind of gender specialization in physical, mental, and emotial abilities is fairly obvious in many (if not most) animal species.
This particular study has quite a few limitations, but maybe it's true that men are, on average, marginally better at navigation. Well, so what? Women are better at most everything else, I'd say.
As Ed Abbey once said, "It is the difference between men and women, not the sameness, that creates the tension and the delight."
