Look, I won't get into a whole argument about whether women are better than men, but I will draw your attention to this viral chair challenge which men are finding almost impossible to complete.
I know what the rest of your day is going to look like...
The viral challenge has been doing the rounds for some time, but it never fails to get people fired up as they realize that women can master the challenge no problem, while men are left struggling.

To take part, all your need is yourself, a chair, and a wall.
As demonstrated in the viral videos, the challenge requires you to put one foot directly behind the other to take two steps back from the wall.
You then grab your chair and lean forward so your head is touching the wall, before picking up the chair and standing up straight.
Go on, give it a go.

Generally speaking, women have no trouble standing up straight while still holding on to the chair.
For men, however, it's not so easy.
The realization that men can't do the challenge as easily as women has left people baffled, with one person commenting: "I don't get the sorcery behind this."

Another added: "weird why guys can't do this."
One couple who put the challenge to the test was Krystyna Sorrentino and her partner, Devin.
Krystyna explained: "We saw this challenge on TikTok randomly when we were just hanging out late one night trying to figure out how to use the app so we decided to try it...
"When you follow the instructions and just do it without thinking too hard about it, he couldn't do it.

"However when he sat and concentrated about it, he could do it."
A number of people have weighed in to try and explain why men struggle more with the challenge, with US scientist Jeremy Johnson explaining that it comes down to your centre of gravity.
"The centre of mass for most girls is lower to the hips, while the centre of mass in boys is much higher,' Johnson explained.

"Therefore, for most girls, the centre of mass while bent over the chair is above their feet, while the centre of mass for most boys is above the chair."
However, Professor Brian Ford at Cambridge University, suggested the answer may lie in the size of men's feet.
He told The Sun: "It is true that women have a lower centre of gravity than men, by several centimetres, but that has no bearing on this crafty little trick.
"Men have longer feet than women. Two paces back for a man would be some 60cm, for a woman it's more like 50cm.
"So to begin with, the man is forced further away from the wall.
"The man's larger feet mean he is farther away from the wall than the woman, and is thus leaning forward. The woman's legs are closer to the wall, and are thus leaning back."
