The basis for the theory is that the x-chromosome carries more info than the y. And, in the event that something happens to a portion of the x-chromosome (such as fragile x syndrome) the other x-chromosome can compensate for the loss of info since it carries the same stuff. The Y chromosome cannot do this. Following this idea it appears that men are more likely to suffer from certain diseases. The problem with this theory is that the feminists have gotten a hold of it and have introduced an insane amount of bias into the research. In some cases the bias was strong enough to misguide the research completely which is just plain stupid. So for now I would just wait and see how far this goes before believing its valid.

Whew! Thank God you posted, man. I needed to read something like this by someone who knows what the hell he's talking about or she......... "zfleebin" isn't too gender-specific. Heh, neither is "Stiltzkin", but it is guessable that I am a dude. Anyways, Thanks!
