So apparently we can’t drive either


First it was math, now it’s driving. Jesus.
A German study is claiming that some women aren’t great map readers and parkers because they weren’t exposed to enough testosterone as a fetus. Huh.
But wait, it gets even stranger. A big part of this study had to do with the length of people’s ring and index fingers:
In women, the two fingers are usually almost equal in length, as measured from the crease nearest the palm to the fingertip. In men, the ring finger tends to be much longer than the index…
Women with the male pattern of finger length did better than those whose wedding finger was shorter…they also scored better on the numerical tests…women who had ‘male-like’ finger length ratio patterns outperformed other women.

Is there such a thing as finger-envy?
