I think it's the opposite, life in poorer countries is more dangerous and millions of years of evolution has made men more prone to risk taking and to protect women.

Having more women doesn't make a country poorer, but being a woman probably helps to survive in a poor country. Forsn't mean her life is better than a man though, only that it may last longer.

She's theoretically right. Male embryos are more likely to abort due to the mother's mental health or stress hormones. So more money could mean less stress, and therefore a more balanced gender ratio

But this graphic isn't helpful at showing this either way lol
