I’ve written 10 books since 2008, my Amazon author page is here. Kogan Page, a major publisher of business-related books, commissioned me to write the first of my international bestsellers, the snappily-titled Profitable Buying Strategies: How to Cut Procurement Costs and Buy Your Way to Higher Profits. My thanks to Sally for letting me know that a hardback copy of the book is available on Amazon for a modest £1,023.08 (free delivery) – here. I’ve taken a screensave, here. I have a couple of copies in mint condition, and I’m prepared to sell each of them for only £999.99 (free delivery). Don’t hesitate, they’ll soon be snapped up at that bargain price.

It would be very convenient for feminists if more women died from COVID-19 than men. However, the average gender split is approximately 60% male and 40% female deaths worldwide, according to Global Health 50/50.
Men are generally more susceptible to respiratory illnesses. There are various theories as to why this is the case. For instance, many of the genes on the X chromosome help enhance immune responses, and these genes may be active on both X chromosomes in women. There’s also evidence the female sex hormone oestrogen plays a role in the immune response to respiratory illnesses.
Regardless of the exact biological explanation for this phenomenon, it makes sense that women have stronger immune systems from an evolutionary perspective. In the past, women who were more resistant to infectious diseases were at lesser risk of dying during pregnancy and childbirth, and therefore more likely to reproduce.
If the opposite were the case, and, for example, the Y chromosome contained some crucial immune genes, feminists would be blaming the patriarchy and scientists for failing to find a way to boost their natural resistance to viruses. The Guardian would be full of articles proclaiming that biology itself was misogynistic.
Since men are the ones dying in larger numbers due to COVID-19, it’s a little more difficult for feminists to play the victim. However, it’s clearly not impossible!
