Are Men More Likely Than Women To Become Heroes And Villains?

Roy Baumeister's analysis of the evolution of gender roles suggests that men take greater risks than women and are therefore more likely to occupy the extreme ends of success and failure in society. We extend this analysis further to argue that men may be more likely than women to become heroes and villains.
