Professor Jenny Graves even claims the male of the species is heading for extinction.
And chaps, the bad news doesn’t end there, because the process may have already started.
A CHROMOSOME CRISIS
The female, or X, chromosome, contains around 1,000 genes, and females have two of them.
The Y chromosome started off with as many genes as its female counterpart.
But over hundreds of millions of years it has crumbled away, leaving fewer than 100 genes in modern man.
This includes the SRY gene, the ‘male master switch’ that determines whether an embryo is male or female.
What is more, while women have two X chromosomes, men have just one, ‘wimpy’, Y.
This is key, as the pairing allows the X to make crucial repairs.
Lacking a mate, the Y chromosome finds it more difficult to patch up mistakes and so decays away.
Professor Graves, one of Australia’s most influential scientists, believes that women will win the battle of the sexes – and in the most definitive way possible.
She says that the inherent fragility of the male sex chromosome, the Y sex chromosome, means that men are sliding towards extinction.
Professor Graves’s prediction hinges around the number of genes on the male and female sex chromosomes.
The female, or X, chromosome, contains a healthy 1,000 or so genes.
What's more, girls and women have two of them.
The Y chromosome started off with as many genes as its female counterpart.
But over hundreds of millions of years it has crumbled away, leaving fewer than 100 genes in modern man.
This includes the SRY gene, the ‘male master switch’ that determines whether an embryo is male or female.
What is more, while women have two X chromosomes, men have just one, ‘wimpy’, Y.
This is key, as the pairing allows the X to make crucial repairs.
Lacking a mate, the Y chromosome finds it more difficult to patch up mistakes and so decays away.
Professor Graves, of Canberra University, said: ‘The X chromosome is all alone in the male but in the female it has a friend, so it can swop bits and repair itself.
‘If the Y gets hit, it’s a downward spiral.’
Giving a public lecture, the professor said: ‘It is very bad news for all the men here.’
And there is more bad news.
In her talk at the Australian Academy of Science, the professor described the remaining genes on the Y chromosome as being mostly ‘junk’.
She said: ‘It’s a lovely example of what I call dumb design.
‘It’s an evolutionary accident.’
However, there is some good news.

President-elect Donald Trump is again distancing himself from the alt-right movement as its white supremacist members claim his election as a boon for their agenda.
"I disavow and condemn them," Trump said Tuesday during a wide-ranging interview with staff members of The New York Times.
It's the latest attempt from Trump to separate himself from groups and individuals widely condemned for their advocacy of white supremacy in American culture.
The Republican president-elect added that he does not want to "energize" the groups, one of which garnered viral headlines this weekend with a gathering in Washington, where organizers and attendees evoked Adolf Hitler's Third Reich with cries of "Heil Trump!" and reprisals of the Nazi salute. The Times has not yet released a full transcript or video of the meeting, but participants used Twitter to share Trump's remarks throughout the exchange.
Richard Spencer, an alt-right leader who convened the weekend gathering sponsored by his National Policy Institute, told the Associated Press he was "disappointed" in Trump's comments. But Spencer said he understands "where he's coming from politically and practically," adding that he will "wait and see" how the real estate mogul's administration takes shape.
Still, Spencer argued Trump needs the alt-right movement and should be wary of shunning it because of a few news cycles of bad publicity "that do not define what we're doing." Spencer said Trump needs people like him "to actualize the populism that fueled his campaign."
Trump's denunciation also comes amid continued criticism over his naming of Steve Bannon, who managed the final months of the billionaire businessman's presidential campaign, as chief White House strategist. Bannon was previously the leader of Breitbart News, an unapologetically conservative outlet that Bannon has described as a "platform for the alt-right."
At the Times, Trump said Breitbart "is just a publication" that "covers subjects on the right" and is "certainly a much more conservative paper, to put it mildly, than The New York Times."
Before Trump's latest denunciations, Spencer told the AP earlier Tuesday that he doesn't see either Trump or Bannon as members of his movement, though "there is some common ground."
Spencer said he and like-minded "identitarians" — his preferred label for white identity politics — see Trump's election as validating their view that the U.S. is flailing because it has embraced multiculturalism and political correctness at the expense of its European heritage.
Spencer said "without an intellectual vanguard" that white nationalists can provide, Trump would have a "meaningless" tenure mired in the "mainstream conservative movement" that he's railed against. "The whole promise of his campaign was that he wouldn't do that," Spencer said.
Throughout his campaign, white nationalists have embraced Trump's hard-line approach on immigration and other issues. He sometimes used his Twitter account to distribute comments and links from white supremacist accounts, including a famous quotation from Benito Mussolini, the 20th century fascist leader of Italy.
The president-elect's son, Donald Trump Jr., also became a flashpoint by using social media to distribute imagery with xenophobic or racist connotations. In September, the younger Trump posted a doctored image of himself, his father and several other prominent Trump allies next to Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that Spencer chose as a mascot for his movement. Trump Jr. also retweeted an academic who argued that anti-Semitism is a "logical" response to a belief that Jews control the world's banks.
In February, the elder Trump refused during a CNN interview to denounce the Ku Klux Klan and one of its former leaders, David Duke, saying he "didn't know anything" about Duke. Initially, he said a faulty earpiece left him unable to hear the questions clearly, but days later he issued a clearer condemnation.
"David Duke is a bad person," Trump said in an MSNBC interview. "I disavowed the KKK," he added. "Do you want me to do it again for the 12th time?"
The husband of a police detective has been charged with her murder after the mother-of-three's body was discovered in a lake.
Leanne McKie, 39, a serving Greater Manchester Police officer, was found dead in Poynton Park, Cheshire on Friday.
Her husband, fellow officer Darren McKie, was arrested on suspicion of murder and has now been charged by detectives investigating the case.
The 43-year-old, from Wilmslow in Cheshire, is due before South and East Cheshire Magistrates' Court tomorrow. A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: 'Darren McKie was arrested in the early hours of Friday after the body of Leanne McKie was found in a lake at Poynton Park.
'He was subsequently charged with murder today and has been remanded in police custody to appear at South and East Cheshire Magistrates' Court tomorrow.'
Cheshire Police were called to Poynton Park at about 3.45am on Friday after reports of a body, which was soon identified as Mrs McKie.
The mother-of-three joined Greater Manchester Police in 2001 and worked in the force's serious sexual offences unit.
Neighbours said the couple had only moved into their Cheshire home a few weeks ago, after refurbishing the detached property. They had been renting a home nearby while the house was under renovation. One neighbour described Leanne as 'a lovely lady'.
Earlier on Monday, police said they wanted to speak to a group of four people who walked past the lake off London Road Northat 12.15am on Friday.
Detectives said they were keen to hear from anyone who was in the area around Poynton Park between 11.30pm on September 28 and 3.30am the following day.
They also reiterated their appeal to anyone who believes they may have seen the mother-of-three's red Mini car.
The car's registration reads DA12 DFO, with detectives keen to speak to anyone who caught a glimpse of the vehicle on Thursday or Friday.
A fitness fanatic who was about to propose to his girlfriend after secretly buying an engagement ring died from heart failure aged just 25.
Sam Standerwick was found dead in a hotel room by friends after a night out in Liverpool, with tests later revealing his arteries had blockages that resembled a patient with a major heart disease.
His heartbroken family revealed he had put off a trip to the doctor before the night out even though he had been recently complaining of heart palpitations.
Before he left he told his parents he loved them and said he would see them the following day - but he went to sleep and never woke up.
After he died the engagement ring was found among his possessions at the Arthouse Hotel - revealing he had been planning to propose to his girlfriend Kim Fisher, 22. His devastated father Adrian said: 'His heart just didn't have enough power to keep going and just stopped beating in his sleep.
'We just couldn't believe it. We had nine weeks to wait for the inquest and it was driving us crazy thinking: "What is this? Did someone inject him with drugs? Was it a brain aneurysm?". He had gone to sleep and just never woken up.
'It's heartbreaking. If I knew then what I know now, Sam would still be here.'
Sam, from Conwy, North Wales, who worked at his father's CCTV business and was planning to set up his own firm, had been suffering from heart palpitations for months before he died on December 17 last year.
A coroner's report later revealed the seemingly healthy young man, who worked out most nights and was obsessive about his diet, had a 70 per cent blockage in his coronary artery - something commonly seen in people with major heart disease. Adrian said: 'The night before he was suffering from heart palpitations, something he had been saying about for a little while every now and again.
'My wife said to him: 'You need to get checked over. I will book you an appointment at the doctor's for tomorrow'.
'He said: "I'm out with the lads in Liverpool tomorrow, I will do it next week".
'He got ready to go out to Liverpool. He said: "Love you mum, love you dad, see you tomorrow" and went on his night out.
'At 25, you would never think that anything's seriously wrong. When Sam walked out of that door that night it was the furthest thing from our minds. We never dreamed something like that would happen.'
'The next day Kim, his girlfriend, phoned us asking if we had heard from him.
The man suspected of opening fire at concertgoers attending a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night was a local resident with no prior criminal convictions in the state of Nevada.
Stephen Paddock, 64, lived just 90 minutes outside Las Vegas in the city of Mesquite, where he purchased a home in a retirement community for just over $369,000 in 2015 according to public records.
He lived there with his 62-year-old girlfriend Marilou Danley, the same woman police announced they were seeking to question on Sunday night as they began their investigation into the horrific terror attack.
Paddock had both hunting and fishing licenses according to public records, as well as his pilot's license, but no criminal record in the state of Nevada.
The retired accountant had worked as an internal auditor at Lockheed Martin for three years in the late 1980s, and previously managed apartment building complexes in Mesquite, Texas and California.
Paddock was also the son of Benjamin Hoskins Paddock, a serial bank robber who ended up on the FBI Most Wanted list back in 1969 when he escaped from federal prison in Texas while serving a 20 years sentence.
The FBI kept him on the list for the next eight years, and he was eventually found one year after he was removed from the list in 1978 while outside an Oregon Bingo hall.
The agency said that the fugitive had been 'diagnosed as psychopathic' and also had possible 'suicidal tendencies. Paddock had committed suicide by the time police breached the door to the room from which the gunman had opened fire at the Mandalay Bay Resort just after 10pm on Sunday night.
It marked the end of what has now become the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, which left at least 58 dead and 515 injured.
The attack played out as Jason Aldean performed on stage to close out the third and final day of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, which was taking place across the street from the resort.
Over 22,000 people were in attendance at the event, and described the attack as 'nonstop gunfire,' which only stopped when the gunman went to reload his weapon.
It is not yet known what weapon or weapons the gunman used in the attack.
Police said in a press conference early Monday that that they discovered in 'excess of 10 rifles' in the room, and that Paddock's death was the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
