To risk or not to risk

More and more often I hear in the media that men always get the highest positions and women are discriminated.
Today I found some quite interesting facts that might prove that it has nothing to do with descrimination; more that men just “dare” to do more (stupid?) things.

Of the 500 biggest companies in Denmark are 97, 1% of the board members men and only 2, 9% are women. This is often the same numbers that feminists use.
The interesting number to look at though, is that 95,4% of all inmates in prison are men and only 4,6% are women, not only that, but the men also spend double as much time in average in prison than the women.

There are also more Lotto winners that are men than women, this if of course not due to discrimination from “Dansk Tiptjeneste” (Danish State Football Pools Ltd.), no, it is simply because most men take great risks.

A little example is about the dying father who wants to find out who he should have over his company to of his three kids.
He decides to give all of them one million dollars each and tell them to invest them.

One month later he calls them into his office. Mark has 0 dollars left, Maria has 1 million dollars and Mads has 2 million dollars.
The father then decides to hand over the company to Mads, though, before he does so, he asks Mads how is managed to double the money. Mads answers that he simply just toss a coin with Mark who should get the other persons million.
Maria was the smartest of the three, but Mads took the greatest risk and won.

This is how society works and why men have more top-posts than women (and why men more than 95% of all inmates are men).
