This is not just your pet theory, it's a very real theory. See "Is there anything good about Men" by Baumeister.

Also, as mentioned in a sibling comment, it used to be that you could find a single authoritative hosting of this lecture/essay, but now it's been ... adopted by the internet. I'd recommend googling and checking sources.

My intended meaning with "pet" was not that I invented the theory, but rather that I do not have strong evidence for it. I have observed the data and this I think is a reasonable theory that fits the data. However I have not tried to strenuously falsify my own hypothesis, so I wanted to indicate that.
