Do women still learn to walk by putting a book on their head?

I think this used to be used for ladies to learn good posture. If you put the book on your head while wearing at least a 2.5 inch heeled shoe and walk across the room; you will find that your posture will get a whole lot better. It also looks very gracefull and feminine and makes you feel better.

No. In many religions it was required for an older girl or woman to keep her hair at least partially covered. With a hat, scarf, mantilla, or even a paper towel in a pinch.\nA woman's hair was looked upon as a "crowning glory" for her, and it was a simple gesture of humility and modesty for her to wear something on her head.\nThe same wasn't thought about men's hair, so men removed their hats as a show of respect.\nIt's as simple as that. Being an older woman, the Queen probably is just sticking with the old traditions.

No, it is anatomically impossible. Even the myth of mother's and teachers having eyes in the back of their head.

It comes from the days when respect was a normal thing not an exception.  Most people consider a hat on a man as an accessory, but with women it's part of their attire or outfit (even when it doesn't match).  It used to be that men removed their hats anytime that they entered a building or came face to face with a woman (whether or not she was a lady).  Older gentlemen and even some young ones still remove their hats at the appropriate times, but as I said earlier, it is becoming a lost tradition, along with most chivalrous acts and mutual respect for the fellow man (and woman).

It just depends on your culture...  for most of the Western world, it is looked upon as rude, or insulting to wear a hat or head covering inside.  I don't know why.  But if you are Jewish, it is required that you wear something on your head if you enter the synagogue, for instance.  I also see that Muslime women must always wear something covering their heads as well, and some Christian sects like to see their men and women cover their heads as a sign of respect.  \nSo, I can't really justify the request or requirement that men uncover their heads, but rather suggest that it is a cultural thing.

Well, physiologically, women have a lower center of gravity than men, so, if a man and a woman, each places their back against the wall, faces a chair that is directly at their feet, and attempts to lift it without removing their buttocks from the wall, most men will find that they can't do it due to their higher center of gravity, but most women will find they can.  It's simple body mechanics and no magic trick.\n\nBut it's not "science" that "girls can lift chairs better than guys."  That's a bit too broad a statement.\n\nIf anything, it can equally be said that since men typically have more muscle mass than women, that in general, men can lift heavier objects.

No, but bald women do.

Women wearing hats are the only exception to this etiquette rule.  They are allowed to wear their hats both indoor and outdoor at any and all times if desired.

Actually there was a woman this past week that did it twice in one game.\n\nMost women are too short to do it.

in most (not all) pentecostal churches,and a few others, the women do not cut their hair, wear makeup, long skirts and sleeves that cover the elbows. from what i understand this "tradition" (not the word i'm looking for) is an interpretation of a  scripture in the Bible about women not dressing as men and vice versa. also there is mention of a woman's hair being her crowning glory.

It is true that women still get paid less than men and very few women are holding leadership position. However, the Vitorian perception that men are "naturally" smarter and more intellectually capable than women is no longer held to be true. In fact, there are more elected female leaders (in the world) right now than at any point in history. The fact that these leaders receive strong supports from both male and female constituents shows the rising level of respects that men have for women as intellectual partners. As further proof, recent surveys indicate that the majority of men think that women are just as intellectually capable than they are. Today's women have earned the respect as intellectual co-equal.

Hey now, that's stereo-typing.  Not all women do that, some of us don't have to....we are naturally good looking!

You can practice the old fashioned way by putting a book on your head, and balancing it, while walking.\nCorrect posture, however, is standing straight up, chin up, stomach sucked in, chest out a little (too much makes you look like you think you're superior), and shoulders back

I do not think the question of better applies.  Consider the matter this way: The human mind in general has been deemed as equivalent organ between the sexes; with respect to its general psychological functions.  However, when incorporating real-world data one can see that maps over-the-span-of-human-time have basically been of the males' world.  Like hunters during the hunting and gathering times, travelers to places afar, explorers charting new lands, and the like, therefore, safe to say males as a group still do yet read more maps than do females.  I've no doubt there exists a female such as she can equally well read and interpret a specific map as can the best male.
