HIGHER RATES OF PHONEY-BALONEY "DISEASES" ANYWAY:

When asked to rate their own health, women, on average, consistently report being in worse health than men do, and a new study from researchers in Spain says this is because women have a higher rate of chronic diseases -- contradicting a previous theory that women's lower self-rated health is simply a reporting bias. [...]

What the new study doesn't answer, Annandale said, is why women have a higher rate of chronic health problems. The data did reveal that women's higher rate of chronic problems can be most strongly attributed to five chronic disorders: arthritis, mental disorders, neck pain, headaches and back pain.
