Arm Wrestling for the PTA Gavel?

We’ve suspected this for years, but somebody finally studied it and proved it: women are intrinsically less competitive than men. According a study by a couple of economists, even highly capable women tend to shy away from situations that put them in direct competition with others, while men (even those who are less competent) are eager to pit their skills against peers.

But everyone knows that women can be competitive in certain arenas. The researchers obviously didn’t check the playgrounds or prom dance floors. Maybe females thrive on certain types of competion, but not others. Or maybe it’s all relative, and if men were running the PTA, there’d be bloodshed.
