"When women are present or when men are prompted to think about women,
they act differently, research shows."

"Sex-related cues like these have been found to make men more prone to take
risks while playing blackjack, to discount the future when making economic
decisions and to spend on conspicuous luxury items (but not on mundane
expenses). Typically, the effects are strongest in single men. By contrast, these
studies uniformly report that cues about males have no such effects on women."

Male infosec professionals: don't think about woman when planning.

Female infosec professionals: you can think about anything you want.
