From time to time it is asserted that women are just better workers than men. For examples, this article in the Daily Mail:
Women DO work harder than men: How female employees are less prone to distraction and more likely to get a job done[1] This alleged study monitored male and female employees for 10 minutes per person and failed to control for various factors, such as the men and women actually performing different jobs or even establishing what constituted work. Someone reading a technical article would appear to not be working in the above study.
In contrast at least some hard data suggests men are slightly more productive workers, at least in blue collar roles.[2] In practice the difference is negligible in most positions. There is a notable exception however, in which female scientists had significantly lower scientific publication rates than male scientists.
