Interesting theory.

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

don't get me wrong, i'm all about the women power, they are objectively the superior gender.

however, I would like to suggest that rather than a genetic cause for the discrepancy in italy, its a cultural one. worldwide there are more male smokers than women, and in italy the disparity between the two is actually rather pronounced particularly in certain age groups.

sauce

now these statistics only cover 2018 but I think it shows a decent example of the ratios of men to women smokers. now we do know that being a smoker, or a former smoker, increases your risk of death to covid.

even if we assume that these same numbers held true going back over the last 30 some odd years (they wouldn't, since smoking rates are also on the decline worldwide, but lets be generous)

that will still mean that in the 50+ age group, who are already at higher risk, you will have a higher number of men who are former smokers than women, increasing their risk even further.

False

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.



The article above specifically addresses this


I don't remember the details but I do remember learning in Human Growth and Development that women tend to be more "genetically robust" as a result of having 2 X chromosomes which can translate into a stronger immune system and longer life
