Though on the finger thing I got a ratio of 1.05, and I prefer feminine faces. I judged the faces by their eyebrows.

I KNOW! WOMEN ROUTINELY SCREW THEMSELVES OUT OF MONEY? IS THAT THE IMPLICATION HERE?

Because women have traditionally been excluded from the political arena and are often told from birth that they should be more interested in other things like empathy and keeping house because of their brain structure, thus reducing the number of women actually interested/involved in politics.
xpost - I don't get the logic of not splitting the money down the middle, either. Any other answer just seems stupid. Who wouldn't agree to an even split? Other than Germans, apparently. Also, the only ruler in our house is a point ruler for font stuff.

The results page was wierd, it made these generalisations about 'the male brain' and 'the female brain' but the difference between male and female average scores that it gave was miniscule - on the judging-emotions-by-eyes thing, the average score for men and women was the same, so why would you believe that women were 'generally' better at it than men?

This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.
Your score: 7 out of 10Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10
What does your result suggest?
If you scored 0 - 3: Do you think you're good at judging how another person is feeling? Your score suggests this doesn't come to you quite so naturally.
If you scored 4 - 6: Your result suggests you have a balanced female-male brain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people's emotions.
If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions. Women generally fall into this category.
Professor Baron-Cohen at the University of Cambridge says that people usually perform better than they expect to on this test.
Men often think a person's eyes are sending signals of desire when that's not the case at all.

I don't think that's what it would imply at all. More like less interested than less capable would be my take on it. Not that I think that's necessarily the case anyhow.

about the politics thing, I think it's more based in a belief that women tend not to be able to conceptualise large, complex systems, like the inside of a car engine or the political system, while being very good at sensing out more fluctuating and vague systems such a people's networks of shifting friendships; not quite to say 'ah the ladies, their little fluffy brains will be overtaxed by difficult topics like the government of human society'.
britishes love the pseudoscience, it's true! at least we have ben goldacre to tell us off for it.
