Inculcating risk could be risky... I'd rather sensitize boys/men to risk than make girls/women risk tolerant.

Risk tolerance leads boys and some girls to take stupid risks from adolescence to? Well, for boys, over-representation in correctional institutions.

If one could just get all to avoid stupid risks but take other more acceptable risks, I suppose but can they be decoupled?

This is not to say that oppotunities should not be there for all to consider and take, if they so desire... just making risk in general more acceptable can have unintended consequences --unless there is a way to direct the risk energy into productive avenues (i.e more job risk tolerance but less risk of engaging in dangerous activities..
