I read somewhere before that men make better engineers because the male brain recognizes spatial patterns more easily and can organize space mentally more naturally. Female brains are supposed to be better at multi-tasking though. Women can pay attention to more things at once.
I have a science degree and I remember in university, the girls always seemed more efficient at doing labs. If you had an all male group, things would quickly become chaotic, but if you had a female in the group, everything would go smoothly. The girls always seemed to score higher on the exams.
I always figured more females should be surgeons. They tend to have better fine motor skills, and combine that with the abilities I noted above, I think I'd prefer a female surgeon.
I realize I just stated a bunch of generalizations that are mostly anecdotal, so feel free to pick it apart.
