'Women better than men at understanding technical jargon'

Article here. Excerpt:

'The small in-depth neurological study of 16 subjects, commissioned by the Geek Squad, could eradicate once and for all the popular misapprehension that men are more ‘geeky' than women and have a natural affinity with technology. Its results show that women are naturally more comfortable than men with high-tech terminology.

When confronted with tech jargon, the stress and frustration levels of the study's male participants increased considerably. Their negative reactions to terms such as 'OS' and 'vlogging' were 138% higher than those of their female counterparts.'

Yes indeed. Men are worse at learning words they invented.

Like how studies might show women are better mathemeticians, structural engineers, Marines, nuclear physicists, as well as infinitely better political leaders, plumbers, doctors, lawyers, parents (well of course), and well... categorically, EVERYTHING!!

Yeah. We're utterly shocked at the conclusion of this study.

Ever seen a late-night infomercial where the crazy guy trying to sell some new gadget got utterly carried away and started making claims that made you laugh? That's what it's gotten to.
