Yes, for example women are 2 - 3 three times more likely than men to develop multiple sclerosis, and 9 times more likely to develop lupus. Autoimmune disease is when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues & organs. I intended the thread to be about a somewhat different issue - specifically an infectious viral pandemic. We know there are genes for such immunity on the X chromosome, and how having a double set of X's is a stronger (superior) defense system that provides a significant competitive advantage during a pandemic.
Although humans often fantasize about a utopian "equality", in nature there is none. Every baby boy born on this planet is disadvantaged when it comes to this specific issue. And that's OK. In this age of bashing dominance driven oppressive men for the evil patriarchy they have created, it's good to remember things are never as black and white as we believe. And no - don't expect to hear much about these stats on the network news. That could disturb the misandry we see everywhere and take away from the hyper-focus on white vs black/brown differences.

I assume you mean feminists are guilty of promoting the utopian equality fantasy?

Quoted from The Lancet article:
"Although sex-disaggregated data for COVID-19 show equal numbers of cases between men and women so far, there seem to be sex differences in mortality and vulnerability to the disease.2 Emerging evidence suggests that more men than women are dying, potentially due to sex-based immunological3 or gendered differences, such as patterns and prevalence of smoking.4 However, current sex-disaggregated data are incomplete, cautioning against early assumptions."
Emphasis mine.
While some of what OP said is fact, the data does not justify, nor even imply, the conclusions drawn. Men are also more likely to engage in lifestyle choices which greatly enhance mortality of Covid-19. Example in China men are much more likely to smoke.
Always be cautious when drawing conclusions from data.

You said this smells like feminist propaganda. Without a single qualification. Please say something of substance. Otherwise you are just making noise like a toddler.
I laugh when people go back to a post they made and delete the post and totally change it - after people have replied to their specific points. WTF is this - kindergarten? It makes for a confusing discussion and greatly reduces the quality of the conversation.

I used the quick reply text box - as many of us sometimes do.
The comment was made about 6 posts ago. Sorry for the confusion.

Who's going back and deleting posts or changing them? “ In this age of bashing dominance driven oppressive men for the evil patriarchy they have created, it's good to remember things are never as black and white as we believe.”
Your words, that’s what makes this smell like you have a feminist superiority agenda

I dunno about you but I picked up a hint of sarcasm from that.
Anyway I imagine there is more than one factor. Having autoimmune disease increases your chances of getting deathly ill from an infection. Especially considering a go to treatment for many is immune suppressants.
Also RJ I saw you hit the ask a woman thread and I've been pondering it. I think it's an interesting question and intend to respond. One day...

That escalated quickly.
Obvious troll thread. I have to admit it's been reasonably entertaining as a thread so far though, despite the fact that it's an obvious troll thread. Kindof a throwback too, I haven't seen a troll like this in a while. Aside from that alyssa chick/probably actually a guy.

Interesting theory.
Did you know every man starts out as a woman? That's why we have nipples. Those "carry-over" genes. Women FTW.
