Yeah, the whole "naturally inclined toward risk" thing is another linguistic sleight of hand to back up gender double standards.

Really deoends upon what you're talking about.

Look at it this way. When you add up the statistical likelihoods of being taken advantage of, being beaten, being murdered, unplanned pregnancies you get stuck with, maternal mortality, being abused in any way, or being harmed due to make risk taking.... to give any man a chance at all in the first place is risk enough for anyone. When you look at the stats, outside natural causes men are the grestest threats to women's lives and well being. Always have been.

But men are the ones predominantly terrified of even talking to women.

Gotta love the irony.
