(I'm assuming) it refers to tests of spatial ability, where as a group males outperform females as a group. This would be on things like Tetris, where you have to mentally rotate three-dimensional objects; it's a kind of task that often appears on IQ tests.
What it misses is that the differences between men and women are slight, that they say nothing about the differences between one particular man and one particular woman, that's there's no evidence this is a genetic difference (these gendered gaps in math and spatial ability don't exist in all cultures), and that even if it WERE a purely genetic difference that ALL men were WAY BETTER at compared to ALL WOMEN... it's just not that important a skill.
Nevertheless, I have heard actual men try to make some kind of link between this and, like, why they won't do the dishes. (Which doesn't make sense for lots of reasons, including the fact that filling the dishwasher is a spatial skill.)
