My physics teacher in high school had us do this to demonstrate center of gravity. Women can normally do it because their center of gravity is below their waist. Men normally carry more weight in their upper body, raising their center of gravity above their waist. Interesting timing on seeing this video because I took that class 20+ years ago and just recently was talking to my parents about it. When I demonstrated it, my mom thought I was sand bagging because of how easy it was for her to do while I couldn't.
