    I think you would find if women held such positions in sufficient numbers that it would be a wash.  That would, of course, be after the "gotta prove myself" overreach expired, wherein women are quite often far harsher than men.

    The greed in men historically is in what it takes to fulfill  greed in women. Money and power provides luxury and comfort. Get that, you get women. This post was edited by O-uknow at March 1, 2017 12:11 AM MST

    friends who have had alternate experience.... So my honest answer is .... I don't know:) This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 1, 2017 6:36 AM MST

    I'm not sure, but I think they both can as equally greedy, but for different things. Sometimes greed for intangible/non-materialistic things can be not seen as such, but it's still greed if it's asking enormous amounts of anything.

  • While they are single  ... I think the men are greedier.
    During the marriage  ... I think it's about even
    During the divorce  ... the women want it all.  :)

    Maybe gender has little or no effect on greed!

    I don't think it's a gender thing, just an individual thing.

    Yes, it must be pertaining to individuals, you must be right.

    What is greed? How to define it? Anyways, I don't see this as a gender specific thing necessarily. Hmm.
