99.9% of history's accomplishments have been achieved by men

Why 99.9% of history’s accomplishments have been achieved by men:

      Researchers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study brain activation have found that men and women respond differently to positive and negative stimuli, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

      Men may direct more attention to sensory aspects of emotional stimuli and tend to process them in terms of implications for required action,

      whereas women direct more attention to the feelings engendered by emotional stimuli,” said Andrzej Urbanik, M.D., Ph.D., chair of Radiology at Jagiellonian University Hospital in Krakow, Poland.

How does that old saying go? Men win the argument to win the group. Women win the group to win the argument. Which preference is more likely to lead one away from the truth.
