Usually the one on the right is presented as being something stupid more than unique and quirky.

Let's call it sexist statement which generalizes behavior and reinforces stereotypes. Mostly shows authors immature way of thinking and insecurity.

This meme doesn't apply to OP. OP is general observation, not statement of gender norms.

Yes he does. He puts all the males into the same "stupid monkey" bag. I don't believe all male humans are reckless people. For example I know 0 males who would do even remotely as dangerous and reckless as it is shown in the picture.

Hes giving an example of how men on average have a tendency to do higher risk activity. It's a statistical observation, not an encompassing one. OP is giving a specific example where the statistical observation applies. Higher risk could be smoking, drinking, gambling, driving faster, gambling. You could counter me by showing a statistic where men on average do not engage in higher risk activity.
