These claims usually come about as suggesting that the [[Y chromosome]] is somehow defective and is ultimately doomed<ref>http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/mens-sex-chromosome-is-doomed-scientist/story-fn5fsgyc-1226611179961</ref>. These claim can occur because the Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome, contains fewer genes, and may once have been an X chromosome that lost a leg. These sorts of simplistic claims show a fundamental misunderstanding of genetics. There is no clear relationship between number of genes and complexity in multi-celullar organisms. Research shows, for example, that humans have less genes than grapes.<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2898077/figure/F1/</ref>

Every difference between men and women comes, directly or indirectly, from the Y chromosome. To claim that the Y chromosome is a disadvantage for men is to reject everything it is to be male and to reject all of the achievements of men, now and in the past.
