    My dad sold railway signaling systems before he retired, he sold a system to a mine, and when there he found out that they only used women to man the computerized loading system for loading minecarts with ore.

    This was due to them being more accurate than men, but also for having less of a competitive drive to fill each cart up with too much ore, and wasting material and time, as we men tended to do.

    I am a man, and these differences are fascinating to learn about.
