As with most memes, it is hard to determine who started the meme, but I am finding someecards usercards to date the metaphor by. One of the earlier attestations is April 17, 2013 (see https://www.memecenter.com/fun/1269907/brain-power--men-vs-women). I am also finding chatroom discussions of the meme in April of the same year. A more current, variant ecard has been posted by Cheri3380346 on Apr 4, 2017 and remains on someecards.com. See https://some.ly/1dR0jBk/. This variant reads "3,241 tabs open."
