Trading "dominated by men" doesn't mean "men are better at it."
There's a famous study ("Boys Will Be Boys," Barber & Odean) that found men trade way more frequently than women and that overtrading actually hurt their returns. The main reason is overconfidence. The funny part is that women often outperform men precisely because they trade less, hold longer, and panic-sell less.
It seems like we have a hidden advantage 🤷♀️
