to be fair there's nothing wrong with women demanding higher standard for men. might is right. men are paypig coomers and must obey. > men have grown twice as much as women over past century, study shows according to a new study published in the journal biology letters, men around the world have gained height and weight twice as fast as women over the past century. the guardian reports: "we're seeing insights into how sexual selection has shaped the male and female body and how improved environments, in terms of food and a lower burden of disease, have freed us from our shackles," said prof lewis halsey at the university of roehampton. halsey and his colleagues used data from the world health organization, overseas authorities and uk records to see how height and weight have changed with living conditions. the latter was measured by the human development index (hdi), a score based on life expectancy, time in education and per capita income, which ranges from zero to one. analysis of records from dozens of countries found that for every 0.2 point increase in hdi, women were on average 1.7cm taller and 2.7kg heavier, while men were 4cm taller and 6.5kg heavier. this suggests that as living conditions improve, both height and weight increase, but more than twice as fast in men than women. to see whether similar trends played out within countries, the researchers delved into historical height records in the uk where hdi rose from 0.8 in 1900 to 0.94 in 2022. during the first half of the century, average female height increased 1.9% from 159cm to 162cm, while average male height rose 4% from 170cm to 177cm. "to put this in perspective, about one in four women born in 1905 was taller than the average man born in 1905, but this dropped to about one in eight women for those born in 1958," halsey said.
