Common sense in men/women

I had this argument with my dh. I think women have more common sense than men. (fifth sense as they call it) Hubby was saying that he thinks men and women have equal parts of common sense.
What do you think/

If I HAD to find a stereotype, I would say women have more intuition and men more common sense. But even just reading Imamother, we see it's not across the board!

Well I don't know if it's true about adults, but teenage boys otoh....seriously I just pray for that stage to pass as quickly as possible without any harm. I think their brains take a vacation in that stage of life.

Merrymom, scientific studies have proven that teenagers are far more likely to take risks due to a part of their brain being undeveloped.

Also, I have recently discovered that modern science has adapted to define far more than 5 senses, such as the sense of balance/equilibrium, sense of knowing where your body parts are without seeing or moving them, and several more.

Men, stereotypically, have more logic. Women, stereotypically, have more intuition. Common sense? Never heard of it being gender-related.
