Sorry you're feeling inferior.

I guess a big one would be the shorter average life expectancy. I try to rationalise this by saying that it's partly due to poorer lifestyle (i.e. men probably more likely to smoke than women, or men more likely to work dangerous jobs (i.e. army, police) or the fact that young men will often die in high speed car crashes, or the fact that young men have higher suicide rates.
The concern I guess is that maybe male life expectancy will always be lower because of something innate in us.
So that's one way in which I worry about inferiority.
