Notes -
Women do actually have generally stronger immune responses than men. This paper I found interprets the difference through a evolutionary biology lens: males pursue a higher variance strategy compared to females, prioritizing competitive attributes like size/strength over more conservative survival traits like resistance to infection. Interestingly, there seems to be a concomitant downside: women are also more prone to autoimmune disorders than men.
