MEN ARE THE WEAKER SEX

NOW it’s official. Men, not women are the weaker sex.
Experts have found that baby boys are more at risk of complications in the womb and more likely to have difficult deliveries.
And the gender gap remains when they grow up, as men are more vulnerable to infections and less able to withstand disease than women, research suggests.
Professor Marek Glezerman, an expert in gender-based medicine, studied 66,000 births at Israel’s Rabin Medical Centre between 1995 and 2006.
He found that pregnancies with a male foetus were more often complicated and carried greater risk of difficult or premature delivery. And in a study presented to the Israel Society for Gender Based Medicine, Professor Glezerman said this ­vulnerability continued throughout boys’ lives.
He said: “Men are known to have a shorter life span, are more susceptible to infections and have less chance of withstanding disease than women.
“In short, men are the weaker sex.”
Professor Glezerman said: “Males are also associated with higher risk in the neonatal period after birth and are more likely to expose themselves to risky behaviour later in life.”
Boys may take more chances as the result of peer pressure, and testosterone in their bloodstream could also lead to more dangerous behaviour, he said. But this was not without its benefits for society, because men were more likely to risk danger.
“Men become soldiers, construction workers, and work as firefighters,” he said. “They take on these risks quite naturally to protect their society, and they’re trained to do this without question.”
Professor Glezerman said the findings supported the idea that medicine should be tailored to the individual needs of men and women.
“It’s almost like males and females are a different species,” he said.
“A one-size-fits-all medical approach does an injustice to males and females.”

Are all literates educated?

Most people are of the opinion that all literate are educated and illiterates are uneducated. But what defines a human to be a literate or educated.

Literacy is defined as the ability to read and write, either in the mother tounge or some other language, while a educated person is the one who has the knowledge and means what he does .
Being educated and being literate are two distinct things. Possesing degree certificates and embossing behind actually entails that these people are literate and not educated. But being educated depends on how one conducts himself in different situations, adherence to norms, maintaing ethics and how one behaves in public places.

India has a great shortage of educated men (don’t read it as literate men). We evidence them in our day to day lives. Regrettably, we see large proportion of uneducated literates than educated illterates. We more often find the literate overruling norms everywhere, like traffic norms, parking regualtions etc.. I just gives a feeling that our system of teaching drives a thought process that by becoming literates, they own the authority to be slothful and override.
Corruption is India, in my opinion is highly employed by the literates, in all end of the system owing to their laziness.

Till date, not even 50% of literates vote in the public election. Yet we still have more than 60% of the illterates voting in every election.

Literate mass who don’t vote, yet they are ready to come up with reasons for not voting and lecturing on the govt. system till the next election.

They are literate. But they are far from being educated. Wish the literates educate themselves before they even think of teaching others.
