I want to point out that part of the reason men engage in riskier behaviour than women is because they are taught to. It’s not just a “men are dumb” thing. Men and boys are encouraged to take risks and be more physical to a far greater extent than women and girls are, and that pressure comes from society in general, meaning everyone. Men and women.
