Why Do Men Die Younger than Women?

If Men Are Favored in Society, Why Do They Die Younger?

Women experience higher stress, more chronic disease, more depression, more anxiety and are more likely to be victims of violence. Women earn less than men, and in many countries they don’t have the same human rights as men.

Despite the social inequality women experience, they live longer than men. This is the case without a single exception, in all countries.

For instance, in the U.S. in 2015 female full-time workers made only 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, indicating a 20 percent gender wage gap.

Because they take better care of themselves and often support each other better. Or because God is in fact a woman.

Or because guys like this lower the life expectancy of all males when they get beaten to death in their sleep by an exasperated woman with a sock full of nuts and bolts.
