Don't oppress women!

[anthrax]

Interesting study here....

The tradition of male dominance over women in many societies may be one of the reasons men have a higher death rate, according to UK researchers.

In an analysis of statistics from 51 countries, they concluded that patriarchy --the systematic dominance by men over women -- may explain nearly half of the discrepancy between female and male death rates. The greater that the oppression of women was in a given country, the researchers report, the higher was the male death rate at any given age.

But the roots of these and other potentially life-shortening behaviors may lie in the "machismo" that is widely accepted as a social norm, according to Dr. Alex Scott-Samuel of the University of Liverpool, one of the authors of the new study.

Risk taking, aggression, competitiveness and suppression of emotions are all widely viewed as "manly" attributes in male-dominated societies, but in excess, are "clearly damaging and dangerous."

In addition, he noted, social expectations that a man have these qualities and "be the dominant sex" may create enough stress to take a toll on his health.

finally the womens naggin isnt the reason.

I think it has a lot to do with the supressed stress, not going to the doctor for minor things (sometimes minor things are a beggining of something bad), putting pressure on themselves to do more and more each time

i like women, i say don't oppress them let them live up to their fullest potential as human beings.

i recently met a lady that was african american that grew up extremely poor in the ghetto in LA. And she is my mom's DOCTOR now. I have so much respect for her...being stunted by money problems all throughout her education and being a woman as well when she was young doctors were mostly guys (shes old) so she probably wasnt even shown much respect either. very nice lady too. glad everything worked out for her. shows you how much sexism/racism/ageism/etc. doesn't mean shit

Maybe it is that countries where men severely oppress women also are countries where men also like to blow each other up with bombs, thus shortening the male life span in those countries.

The study was partly done in the U.S. which has a female homicide rate of 3.80 per 100,000 women (>average) and a male mortality rate of 669.40 per 100,000 (>average).
