    What does the title even mean? Doesn't seem like the article explains it either, or what the rationale for this bold statement is. It's basically "Women take less risks so they are better" all over again. Which is very debatable.

    I wonder why these kinds of articles are even posted, does it help in becoming more popular with women?

    Except at taking risks, it would appear.

    The title should probably be "Why the sex that dominates university admissions dominates academic research."

    Please name at least two notable inventions by women in under 5 seconds.

    could you imagine a headline in Time, "why men are better at everything?"

    The study claims that women lose less money in the market because they're risk-adverse, so that means they're "better at everything?"

    Well then, I guess we won't be needing affirmative action or other types of "positive" discrimination...
