In Australia, today, Men and Women are not equal in society. To this day and probably for a long time feminist campaigners fight for equal rights, but recently they are starting to be ignored because it has been realised that many of their arguments are fabrications, fictitious, fake and just plain wrong.

The question i want to ask is what would be happening if these figures were the other way around?

What are the reasons for men dieing in these ways, there have been some theories to demonstrate mens inequality in the health sector. A minor reason is that men in today 's culture are encouraged to be tough and feel that bringing up a health issue will harm their manliness, this starts at a very young age, if a young girl falls over and is crying the parents will likely run over to see they are okay and will caress her, but if a young boy fell over the reaction from some parents would be far different, for example phrases such as: “Toughen up” or “Be a man” would be
