Another gas lighting myth busted. Study shows men can multi-task as well as women

Personally I’ve always found and believed that all multi tasking really means is not paying proper attention to multiple things at the same time. I believe that is why they now call it task switching.

I haven’t found any serious researcher who took this seriously. There have been several meta analyses showing no overall difference. The only real difference is that women are a bit better at carrying on multiple conversations simultaneously , but in actual concurrent multitasking (doing two things at the exact same time) men were a little better. Also the 2% of people that can multitask without any loss of efficiency are equally divided between men and women.

Off course we can. We just choose not to. It is not productive, induces stress and produces more mistakes which then have to be corrected. Fuck that.

I stick to the wise words of Ron Swanson: "Don't half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing."

Wiser words have never been said.

New study, "men can drive into a curb, but choose not to"

Men are better at it

I will stick to my own personal observation that when it comes to raising a child, a woman is able to perform multiple tasks at the same time without thinking, whereas men tend to serial multi-task and have to think.
