Also better felons. If you only count the successful ones, you get this sort of thing.

That's a good point. If you look at the whole bell curve (and we're surely talking about primarily males on both ends), it's more males at the top and the bottom. Why? Higher variability thanks to imbalanced genetics (Y =! X).

The upshot is the women have more in the middle. "Where have all the good men gone?" They were never there, my dear.

Interestingly those two are not mutually exclusive. It is indeed possible to be both a better entrepreneur AND a better felon :D

In fact, one might say that an entrepreneur is the best kind of felon!

(I'm not sure what one might mean by such a statement; nevertheless, one might say it.)

I wonder how many other founders throw around romantic notions of robbing a bank. I mean there's media exposure, groupies and money. See also: Stander (2003).
