Estrogen may lessen severity of COVID-19 symptoms in women, study finds:
There is growing evidence that Covid-19 poses greater risks for men than women1. Wake Forest School of Medicine has published a review of preclinical data that may indicate a protective effect related to estrogen.
Why are men at greater risk than women for more severe symptoms and worse outcomes from COVID-19 regardless of age?
In an effort to understand why this occurs, scientists at Wake Forest School of Medicine conducted a review of published preclinical data on sex-specific hormone activity, especially estrogen. The review is published in the September online issue of the journal Current Hypertension Reports.
"We know that coronavirus affects the heart and we know that estrogen is protective against cardiovascular disease in women, so the most likely explanation seemed to be hormonal differences between the sexes," said the lead author of the review, Leanne Groban, M.D., professor of anesthesiology at Wake Forest School of Medicine, part of Wake Forest Baptist Health.

Ok, English is not my native tongue, but generally I can express myself quite well, and understand everything. But I really can't be bothered to look up "incel", "trans-hater" or MGTOW. MTOW I know, but what's the G for?

Honestly, the comment isn't worth reading. It's the same self-entitled bullshit that women and trans people circulate in order to make themselves feel better. They mostly do it because it's easier than actually achieving things. I would have achieved things excep those mean boys wouldn't do all the work for me kind of thinking.

I'll save you the time as they're all leftist slurs against anyone to the right of Marx and Lenin.
I guess the right wing counterpart of those slurs is when people write their biographies or profiles, its supposed to be a list of accomplishments or achievements to brag about but leftists being leftists their profiles are usually virtue signaling a long list of mental illnesses, sexual degeneracies, and criminal acts. Like right wing biographies all read something like "after years of sweat and hard work, I overhead press 125 pounds" or earned a doctorate degree or some award or founded a profitable job providing company or whatever, whereas leftist biographies all read something like "My greatest achievement is I do stuff with other dude's butts that was considered a crime a few years ago" as if anyone is proud of that.

Marx and Lenin would have put the gays and transgenders, although maybe not the feminists in the gulag, or maybe put to death.
So know, us Marxist/Socialist lefties wouldn't actually do that. What' you're looking for is the capitalist victim culture lefties, who prefer to make everything about them, while ignoring the common persons struggle (whether they be man, woman, or not out and proud LGBTQ).
