I have personally found that, for whatever reason, women are NOT VERY GOOD AT BUILDING THINGS. I see my boys sitting down from a very early age and wanting to build/construct all kinds of things with their Lego sets and other building sets. My daughters were NEVER the least bit inclined to build things. They want to PLAY with the set AFTER it's built, but my boys found most of the enjoyment and satisfaction in actually doing the building and barely play with it after it's built.
Not only are the boys INCLINED to and INTERESTED in building things (while the girls are not), they are a LOT better at it. Perhaps it's some spatial-conceptual congnitive thing.
In fact, this recent study caused a lot of backlash from the politically correct crowd.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/men-are-better-at-assembling-flat-pack-furniture-than-women-say-norwegian-psychologists-a6759886.htmlThis apparent ability to construct furniture without instructions might be down to the men's greater ability for mental rotation. This spatial imagination may make them less dependent on the instructions than women, suggested lead author Susanne Wiking.
And this study was conducted among groups of men and women who are EXPERIENCED in putting together furniture. If you were to take a group of men and a group of women with no experience in building some thing or some kind of things and then give them the parts, the difference would be MUCH more pronounced.
This also would explain why men in general make for much better drivers than women (just from a skill standpoint, not in terms of road manners). Women of course are much better than men in a lot of areas where men are basically inept. My wife reminds me of these areas on a regular basis and pokes fun of my ineptitude. Strangely, however, I have a talent for cleaning the house. My wife will do a good job cleaning (very thorough), but the place might still look out of sorts. I can, in half the time that she would take to clean, make the place look better ... with "look" being the operative word. And she would marvel at how I could do this. She asked how I did it. After some time thinking about it, I myself eventually figured it out. It wasn't that the place was CLEANER (in fact, it was probably much less clean than when she did it), but I pay attention to things like symmetry in the room, and lines and angles. So, for instance, I always arranged the pillows on the couch to be symmetrical from the center and matched one pillow with another of the same kind on the other side that was an equal distance from the center and at the same height. Same thing with books or other items. I also made sure that things were either parallel to each other or at right angles. And attending to symmetry and angles made the room APPEAR to the brain to be more organized and orderly.
God designed the male and female brains differently ... all geared towards their intended roles within a family unit.
