About This Quote
When it comes to risk, men are by nature more risk-taking than women. This is particularly true for men in the military. A study of forty-one army units found that infantrymen are more likely to take risks than their female counterparts. A male soldier, for example, is four times more likely to parachute into enemy territory.
