(fitness) Women Survive Crises Better Than Men

EXCERPT: Women today tend to live longer than men almost everywhere worldwide -- in some countries by more than a decade. Now, three centuries of historical records show that women don’t just outlive men in normal times: They’re more likely to survive even in the worst of circumstances, such as famines and epidemics, researchers report.

Most of the life expectancy gender gap was due to a female survival advantage in infancy rather than adulthood, the researchers found. In times of adversity, newborn girls are more likely to survive. The fact that women have an edge in infancy, when behavioral differences between the sexes are minimal, supports the idea that the explanation is at least partly biological, the researchers say....

Waiting for the local misogynist to weigh in on this one.

Well then go ahead, MR. After all, you're the one who recently assumed simple facts about female bullies somehow "demonized" all females.

Funny how you named that thread "female aggression" instead of
"female bully aggression". Almost like you were trying to prove a point about females.

[Syne]

You're to only one harping on that supposed point.

Do you really not have the mental wherewithal to put two an two together in a thread titled "Social media/female aggression/mobs" and realize that social media and female aggression can only refer to online bullying?

Which proves some misogynist point you were making in that other thread about women not being very good leaders. It's all there in your own posts. The attempt to put all females down again and again based on specific context-dependent instances. Why do you hate women? Did your mother ignore you too much?

Really? It "proves" some vague accusation, but you can't even quote what's supposedly "all there in [my] own posts"?
For instance, who said women weren't good leaders? O_o Can you quote it, or are we relying on the memory of a guy who believes in alien visitations, bigfoot, and ghosts?
Where are attempts to "put all females down"? If it happens "again and again", surely you can manage to find one.

We all know you're only harping on this in an unrelated thread because you fail to make the case for such accusations in every other thread you attempt it. It's sad and old.
And the digs at a person's mother (who could be dead for all you know) are vile and juvenile. Are you really proud of yourself for those kind of comments? O_o

[Magical Realist]

LOL! What? Where? Who's on first? Calm down. You'll be alright. But since you're a man, you may have a harder time with this stress than a woman would. See the OP..

Classic deflection when MR is called on his crap.

But on the actual topic...

Female sperm cells seem to be much more hardy than male sperm cells, and I imagine that even male infants require more protein/calories than females. Since females are more crucial to species survival, adaptions would likely favor them.
