Last week, we saw two different media outlets touting how much better women are at...well, everything. That was even the headline of Tuesday's lady-loving article on Time.com, and it linked to a recent Wall Street Journal MarketWatch column that explained why women are better investors. Actually, that one fact was the focus of both articles: A new study shows that women are more likely to make money in the financial markets, mostly because we don't take as many big financial risks as men do.

This new report backs up previous studies by financial scholars as well as from financial institutions, all of which suggested that female investors were less prone to the overconfidence that can lead to big financial losses (and, less happily, whopping financial gains).

Since these two articles have already gotten the ball rolling, we'd like to point out a few more ways that women have an edge. We're not saying we're better than men; we're just taking a moment to celebrate our gender's advantages.
