Death and the derivitive trader

I found this interesting and is actually applicable to a majority of the probems we face today................ only catch is we need non-testosterone laced females.

The Alpha-males running America are textbook examples of the Oedipus complex in action. Men? No, inside they're still little boys who secretly want to win mommy's favor by knocking off big daddy. Basic psychology, except they're overdosing the real world with too much edgy testosterone ... aggressive, arrogant, narcissistic ... bullies on the playground overcompensating for an inferiority complex ... they love games, fights, contests, winning, deals, risks, wars, anything to prove they're king-of-the-hill ... like owning truckloads of money, enough for several lifetimes ...

So the argument here is that women are completely free of avarice, greed, and desire for money and power, and never play games and aren't self-interested.

That may be the most sexist thing I've ever read.

Not that women don't have a huge capacity for selflessness, but so do men. To think that simply trading males for females on wall street would magically fix things is ridiculous.

Just look at Hillary Clinton to prove that statement wrong.

But then again there are the Lynn Tiltons of the world.

Sexist, maybe. However, the practice of overstating the point is also a problem we face. Whether the observation is true or not, it was not argued that women NEVER play games, etc., or all completely free of avarice, but that it is less common and less severe.
