Bengaluru, Oct 21: It’s a Man’s Man’s World” is a timeless classic released in 1966 by the iconic singer and songwriter, James Brown. In essence, the song explores the complex dynamics between men and women in society. At first glance, the title may seem to suggest male dominance and superiority. “This is a man’s world, but it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl.” For the first time and for some time in our male-dominated history, women are pulling ahead.
Girls perform better than boys in school. Women surpass men in the number of bachelor’s and graduate degrees handed out each year for years now!
Women live longer!
Women have two X chromosomes, while men have an X and a Y. But as they age, many men, especially smokers, lose their Y chromosome as they age. Y chromosome loss occurs especially in blood cells and others that undergo rapid turnover. However, because Y chromosome loss does not occur in male reproductive cells, the trait is not genetically inherited.
This genetic change – loss of the Y chromosome, alters the function of the immune cells, leading to disease and shorter lifespan. Y chromosome loss was associated with cardiovascular disease and heart disease in men. Men who lose their Y chromosome are likely to die early or develop age-associated diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
The World Health Organization’s HALE index calculates the number of years a man or woman can expect to live without a major disease or injury, finds that men can look forward to 67 healthy years, while women will enjoy 72 years of full heath.
Ladies, You Were Right All Along. Women Are Stronger. You are strong and pretty! Now it’s better than ever to be a woman. It is not a man’s world anymore. Women now account for a larger portion of breakthroughs in science and economics. God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man in the world.
Forget the dubious title of “weaker sex”.
People are finally starting to wake up to the power of what it means to be a woman – Whether it’s battling ailments such as illnesses and disease, or simply living a longer life, it appears that women truly are stronger than men – and research data proves it. Women constantly outlive men by an average of five or six years.
Women have resistance to almost all the major causes of death. 12 of the 15 most common causes of death, which include cancer and heart disease, killed women at a lower rate than men. Men’s Lives Are Shorter Than Women’s! The twentieth century surge in male mortality is linked to lifestyle choices. Most essential proof of robustness—the power to stay alive—women are tougher than men from birth through to extreme old age.
Women Are Far Superior’ to Men said William Golding- Nobel Prize winning writer. It is not for men and women to be alike. All men and women must be themselves, realizing that God has given each of us unique abilities. Men and women must realize their respective equal roles and strive to complement each other in their shared struggle to improve life.
Physical Stature and longevity!
Indians who represent the state confuse status with stature. Status is usually bestowed by power, stature has to be earned! Social status shapes how others treat you, how much power you have, and even how attractive you appear. Status doesn’t guarantee respect when it’s not ‘earned’.
The shorter ones are living longer than the taller ones. When you are taller, you need more cell replications to fill your body, and this can just exhaust you faster. It turns out that the height of women perfectly matches their increased longevity. From before birth through every stage of life, men are more likely to die earlier than women.
Of the 40 leading causes of death, 33 contribute more to a shorter male life expectancy than female. These include heart disease, road injuries, lung cancers, lung disease, and stroke, cirrhosis of the liver, tuberculosis, prostate cancer and interpersonal violence.
Now men are fighting for parity!
In India, gender equality is portrayed as a battle for women, often leaving men’s silent suffering in the shadows. The pain of men remains unnoticed, their voices silenced by a society that demands strength, stoicism, and emotional suppression. It’s about creating a world where everyone, regardless of gender, has the same opportunities for justice, support, and recognition!
Women – Believe in yourself. Never Compromise Your Personal Safety. Never put yourself at serious risk. Never Give Less Than Your Best. We are very proud of what you have accomplished so far. You should be proud too.
Yes, Women are superior! They are kinder!
