The same pressure is on poor girls of any race, which is why the teen
pregnancy rates are so high among the poor: part of the reason is that
they see no opportunity to become women via work, so why not become
women via childbearing. (there's a pretty large literature on this
topic. I'm personally familiar with it having organizing with
feminists to figure how the cause of this huge preg rate and solve the
problem. I did this be/c i lived in the county in NY that had the
highest out of wedlock teen pregnancy rate outside of NYC)

CB: The rich get richer and the poor get children.

What are the hypotheses as to why women have a longer life expectancy than men ?
