I am a male and I feel disadvantaged compared to females.
My average life expectancy in the United States is 75.35 years. Female life expectancy is 80.51 years. I can expect to miss out on over 5 years of life as compared to females. This would be the time I would expect to spend as a grandparent. It means I will miss out on a significant portion of my grandchildren's lives. I will probably not see my great grandchildren. Additionally, because of this life expectancy issue I never met one of my grandfather's. The second was experiencing late stage dementia by the time I was old enough to communicate with him. Thus, as a male child I never was able to share the experience or gain examples that female children had with their grandmother's.
