female rarity

Why is it that we live in a world where the population is evenly spilt when it comes to gender, yet somehow women are rare?

How is it futher that more men are in jail, live shorter lives, operate in harsher conditions etc thus resulting in less men being in circulation than women, yet women are rare?

I say this as when I grew up everyone I met understood this, yet progressively all I come across are people who believe in fairy tails.

There is talk about trying to get men to understand thier role as a father, yet we live in a society in which every tv, advert and movie portrays men in an unquestionable opposite light.

Fertility

"Shooting blanks" is a joke about a man's inability to farther a child.

Yet statistics and frank common sense about the whole reproduction process, show that the majority of infertility cases are actually caused primarily by female or combined female and male complications, with pure male infertility issues taking a reliative back seat.

Add to this an increasing trend of older couples, within which women's fetility decreases with age comparitively much faster than that of a man's. The question has to be asked...

Where are all the jokes about women who are incapable of bearing a child?

Why indeed, given reason, do men take the brunt of infertility downcasting in an apparant modernday educated soceity?
