Packing the trunk, finding the right road, parking in a tight spot—are these masculine tasks, best accomplished with a man’s mechanical aptitude and spatial reasoning? This program resists broadly brushed stereotypes, but does identify disparities in the ways men and women operate machines, manipulate tools, focus on tasks, and navigate. Accompanying two teams as they race to organize and complete an extended car trip, the program juxtaposes a woman’s use of personal reference points and outside assistance with the male penchant for self-reliance and schematic course-plotting—while observations from psychologists and neurologists link these tendencies with brain evolution.
