      Those numbers can go down even further if you exclude everyone who isn’t a millionaire.

        Nope. I think once you exclude women, the maternal death rates will hit their minimum.

            As if they’d be counted appropriately.

              True. They’d not give them any recognition.

        just because theres a spoiled apple in the bunch doesnt make the rest of us bad

        Maybe pick an analogy other than the one that does imply the rest of us are also bad

        The joke is just that there isn’t a lot of maternal deaths among men
