• Women in risk-taking jobs have higher testosterone.
  Stupid article assumes that this is because the testosterone causes the risk-taking behaviour, despite it being long-known that high-achievement in men boosts testosterone levels. MORE RESEARCH NEEDED.

Maybe this was added later, but Professor Haslam does mention in the last two paragraphs that "it was likely that many of the female MBA students who took part in the study would already have had increased testosterone levels because of their high-pressure careers" and "actually, if you find yourself in a masculine profession, you're more likely to develop these attributes naturally."

But, yes, more research please!
