“Man is a herd animal. The man is on the edge of the herd. The women in
the center. There are different skills for surviving in the different positions.
The ability to count the lions is important on the edge. It’s not so important
in the middle where other skills are important. The male has larger rewards
for succeeding, but a bigger loser if he fails...It’s a hard reality but it’s the
reality we evolved in and it dictates our behavior.”
