It's been shown that men are better with spatial ability, women are better verbally. Those things come from the different areas of the brain in men vs. women. The right side of men's brains are more active/stronger than the left, but the opposite is true with women. Language ability comes from teh left side of the brain; I hate to admit it, but logic comes from the right side of the brain.
