Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
A study says straight women suck at reading maps -- at least that's what the headlines declare.
  • Headlines

    Two things: the headline is totally misleading, and the article itself comes to some conclusions that seem hyperbolic when compared to what the actual research seems to suggest

    Also, if someone really wants to know if there are gender differences when it comes to reading maps, why not design a study in which people actually get to read some maps and use the information therein to navigate? The framing of this particular problem seems weird to me.
