Do women have a higher chance to get away with domestic violence?

Yes. Mostly because men are culturally shamed into not reporting. That combined with a fear that they will get counter accused and unfortunately many assume law enforcement will side with the female.Abuse is wrong regardless of the gender that is committing it. More awareness is needed about female on male domestic violence as well as sexual assault. We need to create openess where men are comfortable disclosing said abuses.For men who are experiencing domestic violence- you are not alone and should not hesitate to come forward. If still wary keep a record including dates and incidents. I have advised patients of mine to do this by emailing an email their partner does not know about and deleting the sent/empty the trash folder. This way if things escalate or you do decide to come forward and report the abuser, you can have a documented pattern of abuse. Also this gives police the ability to lay multiple charges as most police forces require a date, sometimes time and such to form individual charges.No one should get away with abusing another person. Unfortunately it is common that women are underreported as perpetrators. Hopefully that will change.

Does the fact that women having a higher chance to develop Alzheimer's disease indicate that maybe Alzheimer’s disease has something to do with X-chromosome?

In a transferase catechol-o-methyl chemical reaction that takes place over many years norepinephrine and epinephrine break down elastic polymers in arteries of the brain to cause a gradual build up of atherosclerosis in the arteries and as explained below this build up of atherosclerosis is what initiates Alzheimer’s disease.The mechanism which pumps cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through arteries in the brain piggybacks on the pulsating expansion and contraction of healthy elastic arteries which is lost when atherosclerosis builds up in the arteries and hardens them. The resulting reduction in the pumped volume of CSF circulating in the brain creates an increasing molecular biological risk that neurons in recovery from activation will undergo an excitotoxic seizure and be destroyed. This destruction of neurons is what causes Alzheimer’s disease.The chemical damage that causes the build up of atherosclerosis is promoted by stress of a mental, physical and/or chemical type and the also depends on a person’s lifestyle and diet., particularly in respect of magnesium and of vitamins D, B6, B12 and folic acid. People who live to an older age are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and women tend to live longer than men. There are a few instances where genetics very significantly increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease among members of a family, however the risk is probably most often determined by stress and a person’s age, lifestyle and diet.

During a car accident, do women have a higher chance of survival because of extra padding?

I would say not because of extra padding. Women’s center of gravity is in their hips, while men’s is in their shoulders.If you use your seat belt, it’s much harder to get your hips and butt out of the seat than to move a mans shoulders.

Do women have a better chance of getting into USMA than men?

Not really. The accepted class for each year is meant to be a reflection of society. They have not gotten there in terms of representation of genders because a vast majority of West Point is mandated to go combat arms (until recently closed off to women). Now that it has changed, we may see an uptick in the number of women applying and getting accepted.With that being said, the number of women applying and the percentage getting accepted are roughly the same for everyone else, give or take some for each class. I am sure there is a difference, but I can't imagine it is statistically significant enough.There are still minimums needed to get into West Point, so no matter, we are generally only accepting those who show the potential to be good Officers in the Army. So if you are qualified and competitive, apply.
