Another misleading article headline, this time about life expectancy

I saw this article titled Aussie men better than women in life chart.

So, from the title one would expect the up to date life expectancy for men in Australia would be higher than women.  This article couldn't be further from the truth as Australian men are expected to live to 80.5 years old with women at 84.6 years old.

The article draws it title from the comparison with other countries in the world in which our men have the third highest life expectancy and women are "lagging in sixth place".

Wow, just wow.  So rather than focusing on the real numbers and pointing out that men STILL live 4.1 years shorter lives than women, the article frames it as though more needs to be done to get our women higher on the global ranking.

Rather than perhaps focusing on some way that we as a nation could help bring the average life expectancy of men up towards that of women like looking at dealing with the male suicide problem we need to think about the fact that the male life expectancy compared with other countries is better than the female life expectancy compared with other countries.

I guess that might draw the attention away from the problems that women have, so I guess I'm asking too much.
