that's ok if you're say, picking berries while carrying on a conversation.....but not so good for driving and talking on the phone.     so it says women can handle more tasks at a reduced capacity, while men handle less tasks at an increased capacity. both probably serve their purpose under the right circumstances, but I'm thinking the ability to handle tasks at an increased capacity is far more valuable in the grand scheme of things. kind of like the difference between having 100 paper spoons, or one metal spoon.....overall, the metal one is going to trump them in progress and long term usefulness.     one could say that female history wasn't shaped by oppression, but rather by ability. invention for example. there are far more male inventors, and that may not have just been a social limitation for women. although it is more accurate that women weren't really all that oppressed throughout history, but rather, were exactly where they wanted or intended to be role wise. a lot of people don't realize that the whispering of womens words into mens ears has secretly allowed them huge control over society for thousands of years.     that's not to rag on women, but it is essentially the truth.
