Men's Issues



THE TOPICS:

GENDER VIOLENCE

...It Makes Some Feminists Want a World Without Men...


...But what about women's violence? If feminists (and the media) don't take women's violence seriously, why should men take women's opinions seriously? After all, according to ideological feminists' own definition of hate crimes, violence is merely an opinion acted out, a view expressed by behavior.
"If one is to accept the basic principles of equality that feminism advances, then one must accept that women, like men, are capable of the entire range of human action and experience: from the summits of artistic creativity and human compassion, to the depths of debased violence and evil." --Adam Jones

SEXUAL HARASSMENT


"With this I will manipulate your little male brain." But all power carries a price tag.

THE WORLD OF CHILDREN

As society vigorously promotes women's equality in the world of work, it generally impedes men's equality in the world of children.

THE WORLD OF WORK

As society impedes  men's equality in the world of children, it vigorously promotes women's equality in the world of work.

The Weaker Sex

By Maggie Jones
The New York Times Magazine | March 16, 2003

Men start out ahead: 115 males are conceived for every 100 females. But it's downhill from there.

·   The male fetus is at greater risk of miscarriage and stillbirth.

·   Male births slightly outnumber female births (about 105 to 100), but boys have a higher death rate if born premature: 22 percent compared with 15 percent for girls.

·   Overall, more newborn males die than females (5 to 4).

·   Sudden infant death syndrome is one and a half times as common in boys as in girls.

·   Boys are three to four times as likely to be autistic.

·   Boys are three times as likely to have Tourette's syndrome.

·   Mental retardation afflicts one and a half times as many boys as girls.

·   Dyslexia is diagnosed two to three times as often in boys as girls.

·   As teenagers, boys die at twice the rate of girls.

·   Boys ages 15-19 are five times as likely to die in a homicide.

·   Boys ages 15-19 are almost 11 times as likely to die by drowning.

·   Boys ages 16-19 are nearly twice as likely to die from a car accident.

·   Men are 16 times as likely as women to be colorblind.

·   Men suffer hearing loss at twice the rate of women.

·   Though women attempt suicide two to three times as often as men, four times as many men actually kill themselves.

·   The male hormone testosterone is linked to elevations of LDL, the bad cholesterol, as well as declines in HDL, the good cholesterol.

·   Men have fewer infection-fighting T-cells and are thought to have weaker immune systems than women.

·   Men have a higher death rate from pneumonia and influenza than women.

·   By the age of 36, women outnumber men.

·   Men ages 55-64 are twice as likely as women to die in car accidents.

·   Men ages 55-74 are twice as likely as women to die of heart disease.

·   In the United States, men are twice as likely to die from parasite-related diseases (in part, some speculate, because their greater average size may offer parasites a bigger target).

·   Among people 65 and older, men account for 84 percent of suicides.

·   Stroke, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and accidents -- all among the top causes of death -- kill men at a higher rate than women.

·   American men typically die almost six years before women do.

·   By the age of 100, women outnumber men eight to one.

 The good news? Men who live to be 100 tend to be in better shape than their centenarian female counterparts.

The facts shows clearly how man are damaged by our entire culture and the way they are forced to live, in some health areas men really are a bit more vulnerable but in other also important areas men are bit stronger but the majority of health problems faced by men that women don´t seem to be so affected is causedby the overwhelming lack of care about the men´s health by the government and the macho man culture. Here are some facts that will help you understand more of the men´s health and how huge the problem in men´s health is.

1- boys really are born weaker then girls because of their missing X chromossome and some preoblematic genes can eventually kill him more than it would kill a girl because her other X chromossome can contain the correct version of the gene but if the boy doesn´t die he probably doesn´t have problems with his X chromossome and so as he develops he will became stronger physically and it will be harder to kill him ,this is why male newborns die easier but men are more tougher to die if compared with a woman with the relativily the same injuries. 2- females having more T-cells doesn´t mean they have stronger immune system because T-cells are related to tasks like memorizing infections and controling the imune response the defense itself is made by other cells like B-cells(the one that actualy produces the antibodies) and others that both sexes seem to have equally and you also have to look at the fact that men are demonized every day and they are not given many oportunities and so they are much more depressed than women what makes their immune system weaker and even if men had a weaker immune system they have other ways to protect themselves like having thicker skin what blocks infections and other defenses. Another important detail is that males seem to don´t care much about their own health and have to work in dirtier places (a clear picture of our society) and this is probably why males seem to get sick more often but not because they have weaker immune systems (this, in fact, should be a reason to males have stronger immune systems, they needed, but that didn´t occur). 3- Males seem to have to suffer more injuries to give up than females (fire at female and she is more likely to became defenseless than a male in the same situation). 4- Males often suffer from colorblindness and hear less faster than females because of a missing X chromossome and these are problems related to RECESSIVE genes, when they are DOMINANT genes you have the opposite situation where females have more problemems like in some cases of autoimmune diseases. 5- Adolescent males do die twice as much as adolescent females because they risk more in dangerous activities like racing and fighting. 6- People taking doses of testosterone have different reactions to one another but they don´t seem to increase the level of LHL and decrease the level of HDL. Testosterone is just been blamed for something that in fact the bad habits of men cause. 7- Men have more pneumonia and influenza because they are more exposed to them because they work in jobs in the cold outdoors or in small and closed offices that is perfect to these diseases but not because men are weaker. 8- Strokes, diabetes, heart diseases and cancer kill more men because men are educated to don´t take care of their health. 9- The suicide rate of men over 65 be higher than women´s proves how life for males is tougher. 10- Something doesn´t make sense with the alleged female higher resistance to heart diseases due to female hormones because this alleged protection keep working even after the female body stop producing these hormones. 11- Finally, even with all the problems faced by men the ones that manage to stay alive until 100 years old seem to be in better shape the women in the same situation what makes me doubt if women naturally live longer or they just survive because they don´t have to face challenges so tough as men do or because they are raised to take care of their health while men are raised to believe that this is "girl stuff".

Using this data that men are naturally weaker is just a way to cover the fact that the real problem is how society treats men and his health.
