What does that have to do with anything? Women throughout history have hardly been in a position to become inventors.

What does the title even mean? Doesn't seem like the article explains it either, or what the rationale for this bold statement is. It's basically "Women take less risks so they are better" all over again. Which is very debatable.

I wonder why these kinds of articles are even posted, does it help in becoming more popular with women?
