Women aren't. It depends on what you are talking about. Men have larger numbers in some diseases than women. Women have larger in others.

You've got it backwards. Because women carry the babies, nature has given them a slight edge in the immune system response. Maybe they are more susceptible to disease over a lifetime because they live longer, but men are catching up in that department thanks to modern scientific medicine.

I don't think that is a true statement. What is true is that statistically women are more aware of the importance of good health and are more willing to go to a doctor. Men tend to "tough" it out, so to some that may make it seem like they are healthier.

Maybe it's due to stress. All illnesses come from the mind and so many women today are trying to juggle work, kids, housekeeping, etc. If they're more stressed, then they're more likely to become ill.

women are more touchy feely. women are the ones that children come to with their runny noses and women are the nurturers and the comforters. they take of the household when they are sick.

Why do you think this? What have you read to indicate this?
