Supposing that this research is valid, it wouldn't be offensive to women and neither would Dave's post. It would just be more fodder for the male inferiority hypothesis. :twisted:

I should note that some of my best friends are male. Even my mother's two children are male.

I can't foresee many women finding this research offensive.....I'm pretty sure they would be well acquainted with the phenomenon of men becoming idiots when a woman walks in the room (=

Reminds me of eating in the college food service cafeterias. I'd go weeks and weeks with great success, then the first time I'd be sitting down with girls at the table, I'd hit my fork and spray myself with food. Hooray. ;)
