It's hard to stay positive when mother nature herself seems to be a raving misogynist...

So apparently, females of any species (including humans!) are tastier meat than males. Something to do with fat ratios.

Also, rape is ridiculously common in the animal world. It's ALSO common for males to go out of their way to make sexual activity unpleasant for females so they won't have offspring with anyone else.

Excuse me while I curl up in a ball and cry. Someone prove me wrong.

I don't know if it's true in the animal world, but I do know that the insect world is dominated by females. Ants and bees are a matriarchal society, where everyone is female except for the few winged males who exist to breed and die. There's also praying mantises and spiders (they're arachnids, but still), who can eat their husbands (and for mantises, their own children, so that they don't starve).
