Why is Russia today a country of widows?

10
The reform of the pension system undertaken by the authorities actualized the question of how many Russians can actually live to achieve a well-deserved rest. According to some reports, 8% of women and 32% of men do not have time to get their pension money at least once. True, everyone is used to seeing grandmothers on benches near the porches, but where are their grandfathers?


Let's try to figure out why Russian men live much less than their women. Why is Russia today a country of widows?



If you call a spade a spade, men are for the state a low-paid labor force and consumables. At the beginning of the two thousandth Cabinet of Ministers approved a list of “male” professions: underground work and high-altitude work, metallurgy and electric welding, and others, a priori carrying a considerable risk. Men, unlike women, in our country are liable for military service and at the call of the state must take a machine gun and go to fulfill their duty to their homeland. Experts explain:

In Russia, a boy from early childhood is taught that a man should not cry, should not be afraid of pain, should be physically such a King Kong that drinking alcohol is normal, that smoking is generally like breathing.


The public organization “Male Movement” pointed out some factors that put additional pressure on men, including “reproductive lawlessness”, the need to pay child support, as well as more stringent liability measures provided for by the Criminal Code for men.

At the same time, the “strong field” bears the burden of maintaining a family, which in our difficult economic conditions forces it to spin from dawn to dusk, for wear. The result is logical: men hunch back at work, exist in constant stress, and after a couple of decades, many of them begin to suffer from cardiovascular and oncological diseases. At the same time, ways to relieve stress (alcohol and cigarettes) make a significant contribution to accelerating the death of life. Is it any wonder that the "stronger sex" in Russia, on average, lives ten years less than the "weaker"?

Authorities point out that the Russians themselves are to blame for their short and difficult lives, since oncology is the result of smoking, and heart disease is the result of systematic drunkenness. Due to the state of intoxication at the wheel, fatal accidents often occur. Therefore, according to the logic of state officials, Russian men, in order to live to the cherished 65 years, must themselves be sober, hardworking and optimistic.

    Nature is wise, in taking care of the reproduction of individuals, she made the woman more survivable. To make a child - how long does it take? And take it out for 9 months! And then the main burden of caring for the baby lies with the woman. Women cannot afford to hurt and relax. But men ... Now, if the parents of sons from childhood raised that leading a healthy lifestyle is a responsibility to humanity, it is an opportunity to live a healthy, fulfilling life. And do not die in the prime of life, because he smoked his whole life like a steam locomotive, he ate to the dump, and then on the sofa. Well, yes, you say, stress, the earner is tired ... Everyone is tired! But someone relieves stress in the gym, and most men attach themselves to the bottle, smoke, smoke, smoke ... And at 50 you look at such a man: overweight, pressure, legs hurt, everything hurts ... Here, even oncology and military conflicts are not necessary. Who is your doctor if you have no responsibility for your health since childhood? And it turns out that he either died ahead of time, or fell ill with a burden on the hands of relatives. Is this state to blame?

    Not everything is so simple. Are there effective social elevators today that allow self-fulfillment?
    Can the amount of wages be called decent? People live from paycheck to paycheck, all on credit. So many are worn as mad at work and part-time jobs to make ends meet.
    Why smoke and drink a lot? So the state itself indulges bad habits on the sly, allows, for example, to advertise "zero" beer, although everyone understands perfectly well what is meant.
    Fitness Shmitnes are also worth a lot of money (which children need to spend on food, and their wife on boots), and the state turned the free sports sections that were in the USSR.

    Is there no fault of the authorities in this situation, or is it only the men themselves who are to blame?

    So the authorities forced the men to smoke, overeat and drink? What kind of men are these that have no willpower, but no own heads on their shoulders?
    In the city where I live, now just a sports boom. The yards are put in order, everything is asphalted and everywhere there are not only playgrounds, but a lot of sports grounds. Football, volleyball, basketball. They are not empty. And the best part for me is simulators! Excellent domestic simulators in almost every yard. Practice - I do not want! Free in the fresh air. What kind of social elevator do you need? Take your hand and take it to the sports ground in the yard for free? Just who wants to, he finds the means, and who does not want, he invents the reasons. That is what, unfortunately, a huge number of our men do. Irresponsibility, indulging and cultivating one's vices, lack of willpower. Is this state to blame?

    Social elevator - creates the conditions for the most worthy and promising representatives of society to climb the social ladder, regardless of their social origin and financial situation.
    No need to substitute concepts. And the fact that many men are asleep and smoked is due to the fact that they “did not fit” into the new economic reality, which is formed by the state. And it's not about the horizontal bars on the street.

      A man who is not able to tear himself away from the couch and cans of beer to go to pump a little teles, no social elevator will help. Sorry, but this is a weak position! smile And why the majority of women did not drink too much, did not smoke, and did not wait for any social elevators?

    My friends almost do not drink, some swing, decent enough but ...
    many will not survive anyway.
    In the fall, one died simply from a cold. And the doctors did not help.

    But the trolls do not care, they say the salvation of the drowning is an independent matter, but in the country everything is fine ...

      Believe me, pitching will die before those who drink and smoke. I do not approve of smoking either.
      In general, sports and physical education are two different things. Athletes (especially the highest achievements) as a rule do not live long.

    In the 20th century, women gathered husbands for wars many times, remained at home with their children, and husbands often did not return from these wars.
