Yeah, I found several contentious, and sexist assertions sneaking in the
text, but I found the parts about evolutionary rewards for risk-taking
males, and those asserting the reproductive potential of males to be lower
than females interesting. The latter was new to me. The former would explain
some of my behavior as a kid...
The other part I sort of knew, but which he elaborated, is the predominance
of males at both ends of several spectrums, e.g. I didn't know more men
where 'retarded'.
