And now science has proved it

But now science has come to the rescue to disprove that fact once and for all., has shown there are no biological differences between how men and women handle tasks, meaning all that extra work women do is exactly how it sounds – extra work.

The new study compared the abilities of 48 men and 48 women in how well completed tasks, with some of the experiments asking participants to pay attention to two tasks at once and others asking them to switch their attention between two tasks. The researchers then compared the reaction time and accuracy of the participants compared to their performance when focusing on one task at a time.

Multitasking: women are no better at it than men - but we're still expected to do twice as much work. The result? The performance of both the men and women was equally affected. So, men can multitask as well as women. Besides the fact that true multitasking doesn’t actually exist – human brains are actually just good at switching between activities quickly, making people feel like they’re multitasking – it seems that we’re all just as distracted by working on two things at once. Why might it appear that women are better at juggling multiple tasks at once? Probably because they’ve got more practice from being expected to do it.
