THE ANSWER YOU”RE LOOKING FOR IN TWO PARTS

1) In no small part, a male is produced by damaging the gender-neutral fetus in utero, so that males mature more slowly, and develop a bias toward specialization while females a bias toward generalization.

This ‘damage’ by the mother in utero (likely due to testosterone), produces both less sensitive and therefore less ‘struggle for life’ by male infants, plus delays verbal and other sensitive development, which is why males both specialize (they must learn rather than feel), and why males mature more slowly than females both physically, emotionally, and mentally. But in exchange gain more ‘agency’ (less victims of emotion) and greater ability to perceive the physical world ‘as it is’.

So, males have a lower survival rate.

2) Plus (as others have mentioned) the benefit of male children decreases as the ratio approaches 1 to 1.

3) Males are genetically expendable (and women treat us as such) since the genome improves if only the fittest survive. This may explain why we are still evolving but it is possible that we reached ‘peak human’ already, and that since agrarianism, and later, with urbanization, (because cities are defect creators).
