Article The weaker sex? Vulnerable men and women’s resilience to socio-economic disadvantage

The gender difference of mortality rate varies with time and place. This is a function of social, healthy, medical environment. These changes in the size of correspondence to a large number of social and economic changes suggest that biological differences can not fully explain gender differences in survival rate. A series of uses of nationwide mortality data, over time, we have developed a set of correlation theory to the extent that we have to tackle empirical observations, arbitrary male mortality. We are then embedded in demographic and epidemiological changes with social development, M / F first decline and show that survival rate, "gender difference of mortality in transition" is increased. After starting this high male mortality, this transformation changes the cross-section to show a consistent pattern, it is tolerant to stronger than women's mortality in socioeconomic adversity. The causal mechanism behind these associations deserves further research

Differences in socioeconomic status between men and women have a major impact on the spread of HIV, especially women and girls. Due to cultural norms and early marriage, the vulnerability to infection by young girls is even higher. Inadequate communication on sexual issues may limit the ability to negotiate safer practices and maintain women with dangerous relationships. Socio-economic issues may limit women's access to counseling and treatment. In this form, women do not possess access to property, economic resources, and dependence on support, husbands, fathers, brothers and sons. Without resources, women are vulnerable to sexual violence and the threat of violence also limits women's ability to protect themselves from HIV and AIDS.

It is physiologically unfair to designate women as weaker gender. Although the natural sex ratio at birth tends to become a male, it is the first few years of birth than girls that may die as soon as possible. Women live longer than men, and they recover soon as they become sick. Science did not find a reason. Male brain is 8-13% bigger than female brain. In the 19th century, people thought men would be smarter. Many studies have shown that sex difference of cognitive skills and motor skills is very small or absent since then. When differences are discovered, they do not always support homosexuality and may change with time. For example, in some countries, I am more good at math than boys than girls. In the United States, the proportion of men and women who are extremely talented in mathematics dramatically declined since the 1970s. Like other organs, the size of the brain is proportional to the size of the male body.
