Has anyone seen woman apologizing ?
my theory: men get themselves killed sooner doing stupid shit before the symptoms of the disease get time to truly manifest themselves.
and that skews the results of this study.
One might be tempted to explain the disparity as a natural consequence of women living longer. But those studying the disease say that wouldn’t account for such a large difference, and they’re not precisely sure what would.
Any competent statistical/scientific study will account for obvious population disparities.
My theory is that nano and microplastics accumulate differently in women due to fatty tissue differences , and this is somehow an intermediate step
Why does nobody read articles before weighing in?
They discuss this and discount it in the opening paragraphs.

While many factors may be at play, researchers are zeroing in on two where the biological differences between women and men are clear: chromosomes and menopause
My theory: make up? Usually these things tend to be because group A is commonly using or doing something that group B is not.
