Are Men the Weaker Sex After All?

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...
Quote:Men are dying younger than their female counterparts and of eminently preventable and treatable diseases, according to the Men's Health Forum, an organization in the U.K. that aims to improve mortality rates in men. Men are more likely than women to die of cancer, stroke, obesity-related diseases and heart disease. Much of this may have to do with lifestyle: as a group, men drink, eat and smoke more than women and get less exercise. Additionally 76% of deaths by suicide are committed by men — not because more are attempted, but because more succeed. The chief executive of Men's Health Forum believes that making health care more "male friendly" is the key to improving rates of medical testing in men.

Quote:Originally posted by TheHappyTrader: Quote:...we're smarter, too. I teach children of ages 4-14 and have got to say, girls are so much easier to deal with, especially little girls. They're so sweet and curious and less likely to spontaneously shout or get up and run in opposite directions towards opposing exits (classrooms with small children should not have 4 wide open entryways). They are just, so much more teachable, as a whole, on almost every way. Sometimes I wonder if we are genetically pre-programed to be stupid as boys. I still have hope for our intelligence as men, but far as children as concerned, in my new and limited experiences, girls are much easier to teach. They seem to have a longer attention span and are less prone to throwing things.

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Saying boys are harder to teach isn't an indication of their intelligence, you guys know that. But maybe someone should look into it, that there might be something hormonal or genetic that makes them have the shorter attention spans and have more difficulty learning, or sitting still to learn?

I can say without one ounce of doubt that girls recover far, far better from catastrophic psychological and emotional damage than boys - we're talkin a split on the order of 85/15 there, so it's more than just a statistical anomoly. -F

Quote:Originally posted by AnthonyT: "Also, another interesting tidbit in the article was that perhaps the slight edge in IQ between males and females is somehow connected to height." Hello, This makes sense. As we all know, the heart is the source of creativity and passion. Newly created impulses must travel from the heart to the brain for processing. In tall people, the journey is more arduous, and so only the fittest ideas reach the brain. There may also be something to do with the humors. Caveat: My understanding of human biology is derived from ancient Greek medical journals. ;-) --Anthony
