*All* women have reduced reaction times and/or are lousy drivers? Wow,
what a stinking wad of flame-bait. I guess it's true that *most* of
morons I see blasting by at 35+ mph faster than the flow of traffic
are men, but my first reaction to them is never "Wow! What great
reaction times *that* guy has!" It's usually more along the lines of
"What an asshole." or "Must be compensating for some other inadequacy.".
Please post your scientific evidence of reaction times being gender-
biased. This is entertaining.
