Interesting comparision between men and bulls - "both enjoy runs of growing confidence as they beat off rivals. Each time they win a fight, they get more aggressive, taking bigger risks until they lose." But, is it not true for all young achievers... irrespective of the gender?

I dont buy it. Greed is the major problem: bigger risks for higher rewards. I think both sexes (in that situation) would suffer pretty equally...
