99,997% av riskerna som män tar är av den typen jag nämnde. Kalkylerade och väl avvägda och du kan räkna in all rally och racing där också.
Visst, du kan göra som en jubelidiot och ta det värsta du kan komma på och låtsas sm att det är representativt för män, men sanningen är att så många är det inte som dör i Darwin-typen av risktagande.
Och du, kvinnor tar också risker som de råkar illa ut för.
Vad är alltså din poäng?
Vill du bevisa "toxisk maskulinitet"?
Gud, så originellt.
Tropen är trött och tråkig, och som jag precis visat, bara en korkad stereotyp för att du inte kommer på något nytt och bättre. Lite som "alla tjejer är horor" till rätt pris.

Vådliga risker är varken kalkylerade eller väl avvägda. Det är dem jag syftar på. Men visst är det väl bra att vissa manliga individer oavsiktligt tar livet av sig i misslyckade stunts, huvudlösa galenskaper, experiment som går snett eller bisarra olyckor? De förbättrar mänsklighetens genpool genom att dö en våldsam död i ung ålder innan de hinner fortplanta sig. Visst förtjänar dessa våghalsar en postum Darwin-utmärkelse, eller hur?
Exempel på mer vanligt förekommande risker av det vådliga och onödiga slaget som obetänksamma män tar: som gangster skjutas ihjäl, köra rattfull, ta en jungfrusil, satsa hela månadslönen på nätpoker, skippa skyddshjälmen i gruvan, inte bälta sig i bilen och tusentals andra riskabla idiotier.
Kalkylerade och väl avvägda risker kan sägas vara en form av minimerade och nödvändiga risker.
Alla människor tar risker. Varje dag. Överallt. Den största risken är att aldrig ta en risk (OBS! länk). Man kan bli överkörd under sin morgonpromenad, halka på en tvål i duschen eller sätta ett fiskben i halsen.
Det är farligt att leva. Man kan faktiskt dö av det.
OT. Jag har redan i mitt inlägg förklarat för dig vad toxisk maskulinitet är för något. Om du glömt bort det så får du fräscha upp ditt minne genom att läsa den här artikeln (länk) som tar upp förklaringar till varför den destruktiva maskuliniteten dödar män och får män att må skit.
"“The three most destructive words that every man receives when he’s a boy is when he’s told to ‘be a man,’” —Joe Ehrmann, coach and former NFL player
... masculinity kills men, in ways both myriad and measurable...
... the number of addicted and afflicted men and their comparatively shorter lifespans proves masculinity is actually the more effective killer, getting the job done faster and in greater numbers. Masculinity’s death tolls are attributed to its more specific manifestations: alcoholism, workaholism and violence. Even when it does not literally kill, it causes a sort of spiritual death, leaving many men traumatized, dissociated and often unknowingly depressed.
...
The emotionally damaging “masculinization” of boys starts even before boyhood, in infancy... numerous studies which find that parents often unconsciously begin projecting a kind of innate “manliness”—and thus, a diminished need for comfort, protection and affection—onto baby boys as young as newborns. This, despite the fact that gendered behaviors are absent in babies; male infants actually behave in ways our society defines as “feminine.” As Real explains, “little boys and little girls start off… equally emotional, expressive, and dependent, equally desirous of physical affection. At the youngest ages, both boys and girls are more like a stereotypical girl. If any differences exist, little boys are, in fact, slightly more sensitive and expressive than little girls. They cry more easily, seem more easily frustrated, appear more upset when a caregiver leaves the room.”
... “from the moment of birth, boys are spoken to less than girls, comforted less, nurtured less.” To put it bluntly, we begin emotionally shortchanging boys right out of the gate, at the most vulnerable point in their lives.
... a study that found both mothers and fathers emphasized “achievement and competition in their sons,” and taught them to “control their emotions”—another way of saying boys are tacitly instructed to ignore or downplay their emotional needs and wants. Similarly, parents of both sexes are more punitive toward their sons, presumably working under the assumption that boys “can take it.”
... “girls are allowed to maintain emotional expressiveness and cultivate connection,” boys are not only told they should suppress their emotions, but that their manliness essentially depends on them doing so. Despite its logic-empty premise, our society has fully bought into the notion that the relationship between maleness and masculinity is somehow incidental and precarious, and embraced the myth that “boys must be turned into men…that boys, unlike girls, must achieve masculinity.”
...
While women tend to internalize pain, men instead act it out, against themselves and others. As Real told me, women “blame themselves, they feel bad, they know they feel bad, they’d like to get out of it. Boys and men tend to externalize stress. We act it out and often don’t see our part in it. It’s the opposite of self-blame; it’s more like feeling like an angry victim.”
...
“Men’s willingness to downplay weakness and pain is so great that it has been named as a factor in their shorter lifespan. The 10 years of difference in longevity between men and women turns out to have little to do with genes. Men die early because they do not take care of themselves. Men wait longer to acknowledge that they are sick, take longer to get help, and once they get treatment do not comply with it as well as women do.”
Masculinity is both difficult to achieve and impossible to maintain, a fact that Real notes is evident in the phrase “fragile male ego.”"
