Improve your English vocabulary and speaking with 6 Minute English from the BBC.
For a while now, the expression ’man flu’ has been controversial. Many men say it’s real, while many women say they are just being weak. But why is it that men seem to suffer, or complain, more when they get sick than women do? A recent study may have the answer.
