all I was trying to suggest in the first place. My comment was that men take more risks (frequency) than women.
That's why all the studies I cite show that. Since risk-taking and aggressiveness are related (taking a risk often
involves having the aggressiveness to take that risk), I added that men show more aggressive behaviors than women as
well. Since everyone likes to throw in the "but it's socially acceptable for men to exert aggression", I showed
stock portfolios, which are unbiased to physical differences and social norms because it's as easy as sitting at a
computer and making a few mouse clicks today. It's just you and your portfolio, and your portfolio isn't talking.
Still, the evidence is that men have riskier stocks, which lead to riskier portfolios, which means more risks.
My only comment to Bel is a playful, "You must hang around with the top 1% of aggressive women in the world."
