Why do men die first?

This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries, but, now we know. It requires a bit of explanation, first:

• If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race … you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework … you're a pansy.
• If you work too hard … there's never any time for her. If you don't work enough … you're a good-for-nothing bum.
• If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay … this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay … you should get off your lazy behind and find something better.
• If you get a promotion ahead of her … that is favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you … its equal opportunity.
• If you mention how nice she looks … its sexual harassment. If you keep quiet … its male indifference.
• If you cry … you're a wimp. If you don't … you're an insensitive bastard.
• If you make a decision without consulting her … you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you … she's a liberated woman.
• If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy … that's domination. If SHE asks you … it's a favor.
• If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear … you're a pervert. If you don't … you're gay.
• If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape … you're sexist. If you don't … you're unromantic.
• If you try to keep yourself in shape … you're vain. If you don't … you're a slob.
• If you buy her flowers … you're after something. If you don't … you're not thoughtful.
• If you're proud of your achievements … you're full of yourself. If you don't … you're not ambitious.
• If she has a headache … she's tired. If you have a headache … you don't love her anymore.
• If you want it too often … you're oversexed. If you don't … there must be someone else.

Why do men die first? Because they want to.
