Delusional—that in my opinion, best describes the hold popular culture have on men; it portrays them as the stronger sex when men, in fact, depicts weakness from conception to death. Let’s face it; cultural conditioning achieved one aim—kept men in fool’s paradise lulled by unwritten rules which ensures that, in the words of Marianne Legato MD, men would: “suck up the pain, not be a wimp, show no weakness, and "man up." The sad reality is that men die first—“they are genetically and biologically fragile to start with and societal norms that encourage and even demand risky behavior by men put them at risk”, and women outlives men in every age group.

Now why do men, on average, die first?

The Womb is more perilous to fetal males

Male weakness starts right from the womb; fetal boys die more often than fetal girls. Baby boys die more often than baby girls. According to Marianne Legato—a specialist in gender-specific medicine at Columbia University, baby boys are 1.5-2 times more likely to die at birth than girls. Fetal boys have a “weaker immune system, a tendency for immature lung development, inadequate blood flow to male fetuses, and high vulnerability to maternal stresses seem to be the culprits.”

Males have a natural genetic deficit

Genetically, every cell in a woman's body has two large X chromosomes, while men have one X and one smaller Y chromosome. Now if a defect manifests on the men’s only X chromosome, there is no "spare" X chromosomes to fall back on. According to neurologist Hagberg, “two X chromosomes beat an X and a Y most of the time”—the reason why boys born with a problem on X chromosome typically don’t survive”. Moreover, Legato notes that “mutations are 3-6 times more likely in a Y chromosome than an X chromosome” and that “genetic deficit could be part of the reason why miscarriages, infections, birth defects, cancers, and many other health problems strike males especially hard”.

Males are bigger risk takers

Here is the outcome; a 2004 data from National Safety Council statistics, “males were involved in 82 percent of accidental deaths associated with firearms, 87 percent of bicycle-related fatalities, nearly double the number of poisoning deaths, and almost four times as many homicides”. Could this be their biological destiny? Robert Shmerling gives an insight; “the frontal lobe of the brain — the part that controls judgment and consideration of an action’s consequences — develops more slowly in boys and young men than in their female counterparts.” This tendency toward lack of judgment and consideration of consequences contributes to the fact that far more boys and men die in accidents or due to violence than girls and women.

Why are we not going to die first? In nigeria alone, the man bears virtually all the financial, social and even moral responsibilities in the home, most especially if the other half is a "figure head". Do you know the amount of sperm cells that leave our body during "banging", some million of spermatozoa.
