"   Who runs the (virtual) world? Girls!  Well, we all know that we also rule the real world, but a new study from the Medical University of Vienna found that female characters in the multi-player online game Pardus out-earn male characters on a whole. The reason? Women tend to make more level-headed decisions while playing the game\u2014they build stronger social networks, show less aggression, and &amp;quot;die&amp;quot; fewer times than male characters. This shouldn&amp;#039;t be surprising: Another recent study found that female hedge fund managers are kicking ass and taking names because they make less risky choices than their male colleagues. It&amp;#039;s really too bad that real-life employers aren&amp;#039;t as fair when it comes to female vs. male money-making. Hopefully the new Paycheck Fairness Act will pass and help blur the lines and women will end up make just as much\u2014or more money\u2014as men do both in the virtual and real world.
