Why Women Have Amazing Bodies

There are many amazing facts about women and their bodies in our lives.

Women have a self-cleaning sexual internal organ, their muscles last longer than men, and their bodies are capable and more effective in fighting off diseases than men.

One of the consequences of this is that it can cause autoimmune disease in women, being far more common than in men, but this happens most likely due to the female body having to be responsible for protecting the foetus as it grows within the female body.

The female body also has far more endurance than men, meaning that, on average, it can go great distances; the female body can endure far more hardship and has greater pain tolerance than men.

The reasons why the female body can cope with so much stress and pain are believed to be caused by the female body being optimised to cope with the trauma and the dangers of going through childbirth.

Childbirth before modern medicine and even with modern medicine was and is dangerous.

In the United States today, about 15 women die in pregnancy or childbirth per 100,000 live births.

A century ago, there were more than 600 women per 100,000 births.

In the 1600s and 1700s, the death rate was twice that: By some estimates, between 1 and 1.5 per cent of women giving birth died.
