it seems hat "the x and y chromosomes were not linked to reflexes, hand - eye coordination, and visual acuity. [so] Men are not going to be able to use any of these physical attributes to gain an advantage. As their advantages are thrown out of the window"...
Hum, lamers...

I'm not sure what the point of your post was... but one of my brain scan experiments might have interested you.
The experiemnt required sujects (both male and female) to watch a small dot moving around a computer monitor.
In the subjects left hand (ie the hand they do not usually use) held a small joy stick and they had to use the joy stick to move another dot around the screen.
During the course of the experiment, the subject was requried to either chase or avoid the computer controlled dot, depending upon the instructions given.
What the subject was not told was that the controls of the joystick would be altered (ie one or both of the axis would change at random), and the computer controled dot followed a pattern, which was changed at set points.
The interesting thing is that men used a totally different part of their brain to observe and control the dots to women, and that men were much quicker to adapt to the changes in control and pattern. It was also clear that more men over women spotted the pattern in the movent of the dot.
We also did some Emotional response tests... suffice to say women came out on top with that one... frankly I couldn't tell what the people in the images were feeling... :-?
