Re: Men are from Riskville, Women are from Safeland

I think that your analysis is correct. It is difficult to figure out why women pursue one industry while men pursue another. There is no doubt a good chance that men are pursuing jobs that have traditionally been man jobs while women pursue traditional women jobs. I think that the risk component is one factor and it is interesting to me because it show that the lower wages that women receive are actually much more valuable on a risk adjusted basis.
