"Deadlier Sin of the Male"

Tina Beattie’s March 7, 2009 article in The Tablet (subscription required) makes the following observation:

Among the leading bankers that have brought the British economy to its knees there are no women.  Could it be that the tendency to the sin of greed – as highlighted recently by the Pope – is primarily a male trait?

In a recent article in L’Osservatore Romano, the Pope’s personal theologian, Mgr. Wojciech Giertych, endorsed a theory by  a 95-year-old Jesuit, Fr. Roberto Busa, that men and women sin differently. … [This is not new] since feminist theologians have been writing about the gendering of sin for nearly 50 years.

Any reaction?
