That's the conclusion of American economist Caitlin Knowles Myers. She, with her students as research assistants, staked out eight coffee shops (PDF) in the Boston area and watched how long it took men and women to be served. Her conclusion: Men get their coffee 20 seconds earlier than do women.

What? 20 seconds?? Say it ain't so! Legions of bra burners didn't set their intimate apparel aflame in decades past, only to have some snot-nosed barista lollygag when serving a double-tall, half-caff, skim Mochachino with light foam !!
Oh, the inhumanity of it all!
Betty Friedan must be rolling in her grave!
