Where do these statistics come from? If the question is about orientation in space, then this is a slightly different thing. In my entire life, I've only met one person who confuses right and left, and that person is a geographer and a traveler (well, a man, yes).
The problem lies in the peculiarities of our development, or rather the brain. The brains of women and men evolved differently, with different rates of development of similar talents and abilities. Men's activities-hunting and defense-developed more navigation and accuracy, and much less the art of conversation, only the necessary communication was developed. The woman's navigation is well developed for short distances, as there was no need to scour the woods to get back, the peripheral vision spectrum is developed to monitor the surroundings of the home and signal danger in time, as well as excellent communication, developed by raising children and communicating with neighbors while men are hunting.
That is, different parts of the brain are developed differently in men and women. A man, for example, has a special area that manages a sense of direction and therefore men are more inclined to travel and adventure than ladies, they are easy to navigate and therefore love traveling, because they are good at it. And for ladies, a special area is responsible for speech. And now it's clear why she likes to talk. Men can not boast of such an acquisition, they have only one department responsible for speech, which is located in the left hemisphere, and women have two of them! Each hemisphere has its own. It's good, though, that they don't interrupt each other and function separately.In both men and women, the right and left sides of the brain are connected by a bundle of nerves – called the corpus callosum-so that the hemispheres can communicate with each other. A woman has more such connections, and the female corpus callosum is 30% thicker than the male one. That is, the exchange of information between different parts of the brain occurs several times faster. This explains the ability of women to do several things at once, while men can only focus on one thing, due to the low speed of information exchange. Slowly, but better than women!))) Men sew better.. Cook.. They are more diligent. And the rapid processes in the exchange of information in a woman's head lead to confusion of the right and left sides in words. Since women use both their right and left sides at the same time, they are not able to orient themselves instantly, unlike a man who operates on one hemisphere. And, knowing this, most often they look for a way out of the situation, focusing on the ring or on special objects, tying the right side to it so as not to miss in the direction. This confusion isn't just about right and left, it's just that it's more noticeable in this case.
