[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men would rather focus on 1 task (and the highest priority task at that) and complete it 100% with high quality rather than dilute focus on multiple tasks completing none of them at a satisfactory quality, if at all. [/quote]

That doesn't work when there are multiple things that all need to get done at the same time. What would they do if they didn't have wives/partners to pick up their slack? Just not feed the kids dinner or put them to bed because they're on a work deadline and need to focus 100% on that? [/quote]

Agreed. Also, this doesn't work in like 90% of jobs either. Some people are subject matter experts or work as lawyers or surgeons and can actually just focus on single tasks for long periods of time (and executing that task at a high level is very important). But most jobs require a lot more multitasking and executive functioning, especially as more workplaces move towards having fewer secretaries and admins. The idea that there are enough specialized roles in the world to accommodate all men is ridiculous. Being able to handle multiple things at once and manage the administrative aspects is actually a pretty generally applicable skill in the workplace.

(A lot of the men who claim not to be able to do this are able to do it in the workplace, as many PPs have pointed out. It's just that it's still socially acceptable for people to assume men are incapable of this kind of organization and prioritization at home so they get let off the hook.)[/quote]
