Multitasking
I am proud to admit that I as a man am not able to multitask. I am also absolutely convinced women are not able to multitask as well, but are too humble/proud/stupid to admit it.

Last night I
made biscuits, cooked dinner and did the ironing. All at the same time.
I think that counts as multi tasking.

It depends
Did you have ironed biscuits for tea?

Impressive
as your list of things done is, it is only time slicing, not multitasking. Unless you cooked with your right hand while ironing with your left. In which case I assume the outcome of both activities will not be satisfactory. Please do not try to destroy my prejudices, they are dear to me ;-).

All humans are incapable of true multitasking anyway
The best we can manage is Time-Division Multiplexing.

Just being difficult...
I like your tone and appreciate the direction you are going in but I frequently multitask (or believe I do). I can make a cup of tea (stir stir remove bag in bin add milk etc) with my right hand and wash up or make food with the other simultaneously interspersed with timesliced activities with each hand such as beating a child, loading dishwasher, scratching nuts (then washing said hand of course) and or opening closing doors fridges with one or other foot (obviously not both until I can improve my hovering). I have always been able to do this but can really freak out people who haven't spent time in a kitchen with me!

Oh, and I am a man. Mooha ha ha ha

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy........
No. Crap like sitting on the toilet does not count as an active task in the sense of multitasking. It's like the IDLE task in your task list, just with more bad odor.
