So we all know that men can experience sickness differently, because of testosterone, our immune systems are more aggressive/ fast acting, there’s been theory’s of why that is but I have yet to see a theory posed as the question im about to ask.
Could a reason men have such aggressive and almost self-compromising immune response be to potentially limit the spread of pathogens to the tribe via suicide?
I don’t know who or how to ask this question as im not the sharpest tool in the box it was just a quick theory I thought to be possible and cant find similar proposed questions or articles. Any thoughts?

Men don’t experience sickness differently
First, it has nothing to do with men, as it’s regulated by cortisol. The reason why the immune system has a tendency to overreacting is because pathogens often grow exponentially. (and here I mean the real meaning of exponential, not the modern one)
I don’t know what youre talking about. Females have much more active immune systems, likely to counteract the suppressant effects fetuses use to stay alive. This is the reason biological women have higher rates of autoimmune diseases.
I couldn’t figure out what the rest of your post was asking.
