@loveandgarbage Yes I spotted that. Maybe she wrote something, but they (lawyers?) decided to redo in 3rd person.
@MickFealty Maybe by you giving your password to a third party service that wasn't above board?
Hmm. Spent a day last week writing about girls' ed in Pakistan. Why wrong to think about boy's health in Africa? Or men's health generally?
My evil plot is clear now I hope - I want the world living with 2.2 kids in an endless suburb of Basingstoke (sustainably of course).
Rt @ezraklein @annielowrey "Now all #HCR needs...Senate vote, bill mash-up, House vote, Senate vote....oh sheesh." <-then start on climate
I reckon 360k lives a year would be saved if baby African boys were as likely to survive as their sisters. (Caveat: maths needs checking!)
(ii) Suspect many parents judge family size by "enough boys". So African boy survival rates prob have disproportionate impact on population.
(i) Infant survival is a paradoxical determinant of family size. More kids survive = parents have fewer children (after a lag).
One in seven of all the world's deaths each year is an African kid under five.
These tweets about men and health have made some of you cross - but I am going to dig a deeper hole. Here goes...
RT @sdmoss Yes - girls survive better than boys in most places around the world, http://www.unifem.org/progres...
So boys out-survive girls by a bit in Asia (lots of kids), but girls out-survive boys by a lot in Africa (lots and lots of deaths).
@leashless @davidhodgson Cooperation - group escaping a fire. Competition - room has but one narrow doorway.
Wonder if, globally, there are significant difference between male and female infant mortality.
