Cis woman are much more likely to survive coronavirus than their male counterparts, and we don’t know why. Could if be differences in lifestyle?

As if to prove my point, right-wing trolls from 4chan and Gab have launched a false flag “meme campaign” designed to smear AntiFa activists as supporters of domestic violence against women and children.
Here’s a little screenshot apparently from 4chan’s /pol/ that’s been making the rounds on the internet; I found it in the Men’s Rights subreddit. THIS IS WHY LIFE IS SO DARN EASY FOR YOU LADIES!
