Justice for Men & Boys 
Well of course the very long running “time use ” surveys used by economists (some running for 50 years) show the reverse is true in many of the wealthiest countries. But another slant on this is in this report of a perfectly “fair” idea of allowing manual workers to retire a bit earlier. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11922541/Office-staff-wait-longer-pension-compared-manual-workers-review-suggests.html
Now of course this could be a sexist (or misogynistic in modern parlance) idea because of course all hard manual occupations are “dominated by men” and so it is these hard working me who would benefit most. But of course I doubt if anyone would even notice this because the media types are so remote from the workaday world. Some countries have actually done this. But I doubt it has any legs here because the female office worker brigade can conjure up a “twitter storm” about any such idea. However it has its merits the districts with the biggest “gender gap” in life expectancy are those with heavy industries where the gender gap can be as much as a decade between men and women. A gender gap rarely mentioned at all, even though it actually means hundreds of thousands of men can expect a very short “retirement” and a “premature death”.
In fact men still work longer and die younger than women overall’ it is perhaps significant that the gap between social class for women is in fact quite small whereas for men it is quite large and for those in the “glass cellar” can be as much as a decade.
