Page 62 The Weaker Sex

The "weaker"Sex

It is often said that women are the weaker sex, but women are actually superior to men in several ways. First of all, women live longer and sty healthier than men in all countries of the world. After that, this difference starts at birth and continues until old age. Also, on the average, women live seven years longer than men in the United States. In addition, there are 105 boys to every 100 girls at birth, but there are twice as many women as men at age 80. They are better than men at things, but that involves the five senses. Last but not least, women have a sharper sense of taste and smell. Finally, men are physically stronger than women, but women are mentally stronger. For example, more men than women had emotional problems during bombing attacks on London in World War II. Do you still believe that women are "the weaker sex"?
