Some years ago, the City of San Francisco studied absenteeism among different departments. By far the highest rate of absenteeism was in the Commission on the Status of Women.

Hi James, I searched for it, but was unable to find anything. This goes back to the mid-1990s, so this was some time ago.

It's fascinating that Cancer Australia had the most female workforce (over 80% of employees being women), when men in Australia are 29% more likely to get cancer than women, and astonishingly men are 51% more likely to die from cancer than women... This is neither equal nor fair.

The question is why men are not voting massively to Trump and similar. We got i. germany only 20% vote for AFD.

Even Young males are voting more for AfD, but equally to CDU (conservatives). Whats the situation in Australia?

In Australia, there will be an election later this year. I don't know the data at the moment, but perhaps I can put together a post similar to what I did for the U.S. election. One difference between Australia and the U.S. is that Australia has compulsory voting, whereas in the U.S., voting is voluntary.
