Women with a better chance than men to survive apocalypse

Men may naturally have more muscle mass and strength than women, but ladies are the ones who live longer, even in times of crisis.

Scientists from the University of Southern Denmark have analyzed data on mortality rates in women and men who have suffered severe periods of starvation in history, such as the great potato starvation in Ireland, famine in Ukraine, and the mass starvation of the 19th century in Sweden, as well as data from the outbreak of disease epidemics, and found that women outnumber men almost every time. Sometimes for years.

The robbers, whether at any stage they were released or not, also lived longer than male slaves.

"Although crises reduce women's survival advantage over life expectancy, they continue to survive better than men," the university study said.

"Even in Liberia, the proportion of the population with the lowest life expectancy - newborn girls, are more resilient than newborn boys," said the study, quoted by Metro.us.

Analyzed family data during different periods of famine indicates that life expectancy is significantly lower for both sexes, but women continue to live longer. For example, the life expectancy during the great potato famine in Ireland has decreased from 38 years to just 22.4 years for women and 18.7 years for men.

Scientists attribute the greater endurance of women to their "biological basis" or, in practice, to their female genetics.

"Their hypothesis is supported by the fact that, under very harsh conditions, women survive better than men even in childhood when behavioral and social differences are minimal or favor men," the researchers add.

The power of women is real and history proves it.

Have you ever thought that its because the Men are doing most of the work in the first place and Women in those times did,traditionally less demanding,violent,and or toxic work.Of course,more men die,we do that shit for Women for the good of the whole.Not so when a study shows Women survive longer in traumatic situations in history,which is chivalry, that they're better for living longer.Most things you enjoy in life require.Just go live your fucking life,this shit doesn't matter unless you are using your advantage to help others.
