>Compared to men, all three groups of women exhibited a larger GMV of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, while only current users showed a thinner ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex is one of a few parts of the brain responsible for inhibition and risk-taking, (unfortunately) not really the type of cognition people associate with being smart or stupid

You don't view people who take unnecessary risks or people that are disproportionately fearful in safe situations as stupid?
Again, we're not talking about fear but the ability to factor fear into decision-making. For every celebrity or founder who can't adequately factor risk or fear in their decision-making processes there are thousands who end up getting arrested for or becoming victimized by violent crime, losing their money to scams, hurting themselves showing off to their friends etc. for the same reason
The 'currently taking' qualification in the paper indicates that there may be a causal relationship between taking hormonal BC and reduced volume in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Establishing a causal link between risk-taking behavior and BC use would need a different study design, especially given there are common reasons to use hormonal BC that don't involve being promiscuous

In this case they'd be less fear-adverse.
I do, but whether society does often depends on the context and outcome of the decision
