Women as a sex want to impose security, stability, and conventionality, at all costs, on everything. They want a tyranny of the safe and comfortable. For which there is a good reason. Historically, mothers have been women. Their instincts are to keep children alive, which is difficult, especially with boys.
Boys favor enthusiasm over judgement.
Before they are big enough, they want to climb things, crawl into things, and play with things that bite. They don't understand about coral snakes. A boy of seven is quite sure it's a good idea to climb a utility pole and hang by his toes from the high-tension lines. His mother is sure it isn't. That's why he survives to manhood.
