I'd drop biological here. Because it might just as well be a cultural or social cause. The important observation is that men have the need to have adventures and women don't. The rest of your argument stands without needing to assert this is about biology.
- remarkEon 7y agoThat the trend exists across cultures suggests that culture might only be part of it. Not 100% due to biology, to be sure, but intuitively it makes sense that it's a significant drive simply based on how humans evolved and what gender roles existed because of our biology (men hunting and gathering, women raising children).
- rocqua 7y agoThat's a debate we could have, though I don't particularly care for it. My point is that the entire argument stands without making this assertion, so why not leave it out.
