"Pretty sure women can just as easily invest in it as any man." That is not the point of the piece!
"It isn't merely that the value has risen as far and as fast as it has; it's the fact that it's 97 per cent men — that is, in and of itself, a potential danger sign," he says.

"There are studies out there that suggest men are predisposed towards bubbles in a way that women are not."
The actual point is that the author believes the gender divide may be an indication excessive risk and bubble but for many it's more fun to complain about "whining women."

If you go to a casino, you will find most customers are men too.
