Reply to comment by Plane_Bad837 in [OC] Men-Women Ratio in Wealthiest and Poorest Countries by biantongfrom
I think it's the opposite, life in poorer countries is more dangerous and millions of years of evolution has made men more prone to risk taking and to protect women.
Having more women doesn't make a country poorer, but being a woman probably helps to survive in a poor country. Forsn't mean her life is better than a man though, only that it may last longer.

We do the same in Spain, at least with American non-fiction shows, like Hell's Kitchen or Pawn Stars.
