The general statistical consensus is actually that men have higher variance in general. You're more likely as a man to be rich and famous, but you're also more likely to end up in a ditch.

Most car accidents are male, too. It doesn't mean they're bad drivers, it means that men drive longer distances, longer time than women. It's a matter of probability. The more you drive, the more you are likely to have an accident at some point. Match total men mileage and get the ratio accident/man.mile .. Then do the same for women. More accident for less driving. Numbers say another thing. If someone's a truck driver and spends basically his whole day driving and has driven hundred of thousands of miles and he's been in 5 accidents.. And I've been in 1 accident.. What do the numbers say ? I love it when people want to bend numbers to make them say what they want, yet completely take them out of context. Oh: 84% of homeless people are male ? Okay, find each one of them. Ask if he was married before. If yes, ask him where is his wife.. I'm willing to bet she's not inside that card-board box:)

  > It's a matter of probability. The more you drive, the more you are likely to have an accident at some point. That was actually part of my point. I am not saying men are inferior, I am saying men are more likely to be in jobs where they have higher workplace hazards.
