All the statistics listed in the article show things that favor women.

Other statistics show things that favor men. For every 100 women... There are this many men...

Fortune 500 CEOs - 1,900 (There are only 25 women, vs. 475 men)

Billionaires in the world - 854

Millionaires in the world - 900

Income over $100K in US - 240

Income over $250K in US - 290

Leader of a nation - 873 (There are only 15 women vs 131 men)

The stats you are quoting are only shoring up (half) the base of the article's argument. Aggressive, type-A men are more likely to large, daring risks whether that's committing crime or starting ground-breaking companies.

You make a good point.

But I don't think you have to be an aggressive type-A man to make $100K in the US.

At any income level in the US, there are more men than women making that income. Most likely the same is true across the world.
