I loved the idea of this comment, so I read the article.

It says that men are more likely than women to take risks across several domains. This does not support the idea that men (more than women) are "risk assessors by nature".

The article also says that women and men are equally likely to take risks in the social domain... which probably includes marriage.

In general, I think the blithe characterization of men and women in this way does not move the dialogue forward.

My point was it’s roughly equal, why make a shitty comment trying to start a fight instead of looking up the information.

Because the parent comment was ignorant and stupid. Making statements like "one gender does a thing by nature" that is not tied to a core biological function is ridiculous. Now, if we want to have a discussion about "by nurture," then we're able to talk honestly. It's beliefs and statements like that, that make honest conversation nearly impossible and therefore true equality just an idea.
