In most cultures young men are risk takers, prone to gambling and drinking, women invest in the family, health care and education which seems to have a higher payoff.Did you know that due to cultural biases leading to infanticide and selective nutrition in China and India, there are 100 million girls missing? I got to see Amartya Sen speak in La Jolla, pretty amazing.
