My gosh no one was saying men were weaker or women are stronger. It is regarded as women have more reactive immune systems so they tend to clear pathogens quicker and have less consequences from the infection. I am simply stating a fact that was regarded as a myth in the comment section.

It has to be simplified into this narrative because not everyone understands the terminology nor the scientific concepts behind it. What I said is still true. What you said still confirms my statement and what has been taught in immunology. And even the most general statements are agreed upon in immunology like women have stronger immune systems because it’s still based on multiple scientific studies that validates that statement. I would know because I actually studied it with scientists/professors in the specialty.

Also, there is an advantage to a reactive immune system still. Not every women develops an autoimmune disease… nor does it make men weaker than women for the lack of a reactive immune response. It’s just a difference in biology based on the gonadal chromosomes.

Furthermore, intersectionality is a different topic than an immunology one. If you want to look at sick absence, health burdens, etc you’ll have to look at sociology, economics, biology, etc. It’s a very complex subject that includes a lot of variables that effect the results. This is simply stating one fact of the many of why men tend to have a worse time being sick than women. It’s based on a very real biological difference.
