Great comments! When are men going to benefit us as much as we benefit them?

Since when was anyone more likely to die than anyone else? It's 100% likelihood of dying across the board. Excellent summary.

I'm certain this is because the extent of a woman's education will somehow correlate with the degree of her emotional maturity. Seriously. Nagging and pettiness are the death of us men.

Women tend to live shorter because we are the maid.

Ladies, common sense. Of course men live longer. You know why? Because they have a maid. Plain and simple.
