Men are the weaker species (1 Viewer)

MEN'S ability to turn a sniffle into flu and a headache into a migraine has long been a source of irritation to wives and girlfriends.

But man-flu may not be a myth after all thanks to research showing that men really are the weaker sex.

Researchers found that women have a more powerful immune system than men thanks to their hormones.

The study showed that the female sex hormone oestrogen boosts the immune system's first line of attack against bacteria and other invaders.

The finding raises the possibility of using oestrogen-based drugs to shore up the male body's defences.

The research focused on an enzyme called caspase-12.

It raises susceptibility to infection by blocking the inflammation the body uses to fight bacteria and other unwanted bugs.

Mice unable to make the enzyme were extremely resistant to infection, researchers from McGill University in Montreal showed.

Oestrogen for you bitchez

men (back in the good old days) would have been more fit from chasing animals and fighting and shit that their greater fitness would have compensated for this.

infact i think that women probably developed this due to not being as fit as men and not having such great immune systems and shit
