Why do autoimmune diseases affect more women than men?

Why do autoimmune diseases affect more women than men? I'm researching MS (multiple sclerosis) and this is mentioned habitually but never explained. A perfect medical source on the Web would be great, if you could attach one that explains this. Thanks!!

I don't own a contact but I juuuust studied this stuff for an immunology exam. The guess is that testosterone have a mild immunosuppressant effect, which make the immune system smaller quantity possible to walk overboard.
There is no set motivation. Statistic simply point to it. I hold an auto immune disease, Lupus. My father also did, he have Crohn's.
