Are Men Finished? Debate with Dan Abrams and Dave Zinczenko
Dan Abrams faced off with several leading media figures, including Christine Hoff Summers and Dave Zinczenko, to debate the resolution “Men Are Finished” with partner Hanna Rosin for ID Squared’s debate series. You can watch a video of the debate here, and also read Slate's coverage here.
Women in Radio Deliver
The New York Post recently posted an article on the success of women in radio focusing on Cumulus' Kim Bryant.
Bryant delivered some pretty strong results after wrapping up her first year running the company's New York stations. Under her leadership, the Cumulus local spot revenue rose 23%.
Some of her accomplishments include launching NASH FM, revamping 77 WAB by adding more live and local content and making some changes at WPLJ.

Women's IQs Overtake Men's
Women are becoming brighter than men, according to the latest IQ testing.
For years, women have been on average about five points below men, but IQ expert James Flynn's latest tests show that women are closing the gap. In some countries, like New Zealand, women and men were equal, while in others, like Estonia and Argentina, women actually pulled ahead of men.
Flynn said he thinks this could be due to the changing demands of our modern world, including the rising demand for women to multi-task between work and raising a family. He will publish his findings in a book.
For more about these developments, read the story here.
STUDY: Women Smarter, Less Risky Online
According to a new study conducted by Internet security firm Bitdefender, men are more likely to fall victim to data theft on social networks like Facebook and Twitter than women.
In the survey, Bitdefender interviewed 1,649 men and women from the US and the UK about their social media habits. The study found that 64.2 percent of women always reject friend requests from users they do not know. Men only reject requests from strangers 55.4 percent of the time.
Additionally, 24.5 percent of men make it possible to search for their accounts, while only 16 percent of women do so. And a near equal amount of men (25.6 percent) share their location on social networks, while 21.8 percent of women make their location known.
Women Make Teams Smarter in the Workplace
There’s little correlation between a group’s collective intelligence and the IQs of its individual members, but if a group includes more women, its collective intelligence rises, says a study profiled by the Harvard Business Review.
Women Are Better For The Planet
Seven independent studies/surveys show that women are much more conscious of their environmental impact:
1. Women recycle more.
2. Women are more keen to be green.
3. Women eat less meat.
4. Women take shorter trips.
5. Women save gas.
6. Women are eco-fashion forward.
7. Women make more eco-purchases
The folks at Earth911.com break down each study:
1. Women recycle more. About two-thirds of households that regularly recycle credit the woman of the house as the “recycling enforcer,” according to a 2009 survey. That’s a big deal since women continue to shoulder most of the housework, experts say.
2. Women are more keen to be green. About 41 percent of women compared to 27 percent of men cite eco-friendly living as a daily goal, a nationalsurvey finds. The same study showed that more women than men want to use reusable shopping bags and reduce their household’s energy use.
3. Women eat less meat. Men consume more meat and processed foods than women, conclude two recent European studies – two categories of food that are especially resource-intensive. Women eat more fruits and vegetables, which use up less land, water and CO2, for example.
4. Women take shorter trips. Is it because they ask for directions and take a direct route? We’d like to think so, but no: men drive and fly longer distances for their jobs, the European studies show. Women use more public transportation, too, which lessens their carbon footprint.
5. Women save gas. Aggressive driving lowers gas mileage by 33 percent on the highway, says the U.S. Department of Energy, and studies repeatedly show that women are less likely to speed than men. (That’s reflected in insurance premiums, too.)
6. Women are eco-fashion forward. The lack of eco-friendly menswear isn’t a big surprise since designers overwhelmingly focus on women’s apparel, but because women also buy more clothes, they have a greater influence on the industry as a whole. Did we mention their clothes are smaller, too?
7. Women make more eco-purchases. Beyond fashion, women are more likely than men to buy eco-oriented or recyclable products, according to an international study. Again, that’s potential for a big impact since women make at least 75 percent of home purchase decisions, researchers attest.
Women Are More Efficient Soccer Players
When women play soccer, the individual interruptions, for instance for substitutions or to cheer a goal, are a lot shorter than when men play. In particular after injuries men remain on the ground significantly longer.
This is what sports scientists from the Chair of Training Science and Sports Informatics at TUM discovered after analyzing 56 football games and evaluating the place, time and duration of every single interruption of the game.

Looking at Art: Women Appreciate Beauty Better Than Men
According to a study done by researchers at San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid, female brains react differently than male brains when looking at pieces of art. Scans done on both men and women while looking at pieces of art showed that brain activity increased on the right side only for men, and on both sides for women. The researchers believe that this has to do with how men and women process spatial information. Men, they suggest, look at the picture as a whole, while women, in addition to looking at the whole picture, pay attention to the smaller details. Fransisco Ayala of the University of California, Irvine, believes that these differences are not recent, but rather arose early on from our ancient human ancestors.

Less Sick Days? Women Better at Resisting Colds
According to a study done in Australia, women's immune systems react more strongly to the viruses that cause the common cold. Scientists speculate this is because of certain female horomones within the body, but don't think it's a permanent defense. Just a long lasting one. For more information, check out this article.
Women Make Better Politicians? Less Scandalous, Certainly
Studies show that while there are less women in politics, they are less likely to be caught up in sex scandals than men. Women have different motivations when running for office; according to Debbie Walsh, director for the Center of American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, "women run for office to do something, and men run for office to be somebody," a difference that affects how each gender acts once put in office. Women who do manage to get elected then face other difficulties, mainly living up to their male counterparts. To that end, women appear to work harder, according to studies done by Kathryn Pearson of the University of Minnesota. Women introduce more bills, participate more in legislative debates, and give more speeches that open each session. There are also the standards that their voters hold them to. Celinda Lake, a Democratic strategist, says that female politicians are punished more harshly than men for misbehavior. Of course, that isn't to say that women aren't completely immune from sex scandals. Nikki Haley of South Carolina dealt with accusations of adultery last year when she ran for office. Helen Chenoweth-Hage of Idaho admitted to having a six-year affair with a married man. Barbara Cubin of Wyoming was accused of "lewd pranks" when running for the House of Representatives in 1994.

But compared to the amount of men who are involved in scandals (Spitzer, Weiner, Ensign, Sanford, etc.) women seem to be steering clear of trouble. Which then begs the question: why aren't there more women holding office? For more information, see this article from the New York Times.

Women are More Savvy with their Investment Strategies
In a time where many men are pegged as being "overconfident" with power following a endless news of scandals, women have taken a stand with their abilities to exercise self control in their own powers of decision making. However, while women are generally better with their thought processes, it is now true that women are more sound in their financial decision making. In a new study by Merrill Lynch, women are better at knowing when to play it safe and when to hold on to their investments. While 47% of men held their investments for too long, only 35% of women did. To view the full study, click here.
