According to a study conducted by Dr. Claudia Wolf of Ruhr University, women have more difficulty parking cars than men. Dr. Wolf decided to carry out the study to determine whether “prejudices” concerning women’s driving ability are correct. When she found that they are, Dr. Wolf said the study “only proves what previous studies about the spatial differences between men and women have shown.”
Feminist author Germaine Greer dismissed the study as “pointless,” but conceded that men “have a very insignificant advantage in spatial awareness when it comes to parking.”
