do men have inferior genes?

found this article today. this is at the end of the first page:
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes packed with genes that dictate every aspect of our biological functioning. Of these pairs, the sex chromosomes are different; women have two X chromosomes and men have an X and a Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains essential blueprints for the male reproductive system, in particular those for sperm development.
But the Y chromosome, which once contained as many genes as the X chromosome, has deteriorated over time and now contains less than 80 functional genes compared to its partner, which contains more than 1,000 genes. Geneticists and evolutionary biologists determined that the Y chromosome’s deterioration is due to accumulated mutations, deletions and anomalies that have nowhere to go because the chromosome doesn’t swap genes with the X chromosome like every other chromosomal pair in our cells do.
eighty functional genes. versus a thousand.
what’s the ratio of nerve endings in the clitoris versus the head of a penis?
The clitoris, not the vagina, has 8,000 nerve endings connected with 15,000 nerve fibers in the pelvic area, more than any part in the body. the gland of the penis has 4000 nerve endings the foreskin has 20000 nerve endings making it 83% of the feeling of the penis so as you can see the normal penis has the most nerve endings
this is misleading. most men in the us have been circumcized, robbing them of 20,000 nerve endings, so they come out with 4,000 nerve endings on the head of their dicks, versus 8,000 in our itty bitty clitori.
i think circumcision should be outlawed.
but either way we women win.
