Men are the weaker sex

Traditionally, women are generally known as 'the weaker sex' so people say they need to be protected. However, in terms of health, women are the strong, healthy ones - so, men are supposedly the weaker sex. Yvonne and Rob have been discussing this.

This week's question:

Compared with the early 1960s, each year, the number of men who enter medical schools in the UK has doubled. But how many women enter medical school each year?
a) About the same number
b) Triple the number
c) Ten-fold (=10 times as many)

Listen to this podcast from BBC 6 minute English to answer the question.
