Actually, this is not correct according to the many scientific studies that has investigated gender differences (or rather, gender likeness) in cognitive functions. Performance in "multitasking", or working memory as it is called in cognitive science, shows no gender difference.

At group level, women have faster visual perception and faster motoric response to visual perceptions, so based on gender differences, more women than men would be suitable as fighting pilots.
