Comment on The Trap You Set For Yourself

How about we start paying attention to how we describe men? That quote was really unnecessary:

"They (women) aren’t just bad at behaving like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks. They are bad at behaving like self-promoting narcissists, anti-social obsessives, or pompous blowhards"

which suggests men are mainly successful because they are those things.

I recently heard (in a finance lecture, but still) that 3% of men are psychopaths, and 1% of women. So yes, more men are psychopaths, but neither gender is off the hook, and the majority of people actually aren't psychopaths.

Throwing your gender under a bus is a primitive way of signalling that you're an enlightened bro. I find it rather sleazy.
