This week marked the day of the struggle against violence against women.
There was no program that did not deal with the subject.
What was much less talked about was "Man's Day," which was celebrated last weekend.
Try to remember one show, other than the network's morning show, which dealt with it.
Have you heard any discussion of violence against men?
of course not.
This violence continues to be swept under the rug in the living room.
That's right, almost only men are murderers. Murder of men by their wives is rare. Women's violence against men does not amount to murder, but certainly does to serious injuries, both physical and mental. Here is a shaky number: 2,068 cases of grievous bodily harm were opened this year against women who harmed their husbands, compared to 177 cases against husbands who harmed their wives. 11 times more women are harmed. Did you know? of course not. The statistic is obscured and silenced, because there is a relentless anti-male propaganda campaign here, which tries and succeeds in portraying men as the only engines of violence in families. And this is a blood libel, as simple as that.
Another interesting statistic: In domestic violence incidents, according to recent studies, women start a little over half of the fights. So it is not that there are women victims here and predatory men. Definately not. There is the same amount of spouses who violently find the convenient, available, automatic way to resolve disputes at home. For years a well-oiled propaganda machine has bothered to portray male brothers as dangerous, toxic, murderous, and also cause law enforcement, judging and treatment agencies to see men who fall victim to violent women as ridiculous, weak, unmanly people, and their suffering to be hidden and despised.
The number of women from Jewish society who are murdered by their spouses is very low compared to the total number of murdered women.
In Arab families, there are many who are murdered by family members who are not husbands, against the background of what is known as "family honor," and there are many murdered from weak groups in the population, in which the values of Israeli society have not yet been assimilated.
This is important, because the high number of murders serves as the main fuel in the campaign of hatred and plot against the men of Israel - as if everyone is a small killer, and we are all a solid killer.
The day of the fight against violence against women must change its face and become the day of the fight against violence within the family.
The unfortunate men who fall victim to violent women must have a voice, and must have respect, and must have support.
Today they not only suffer, they are also isolated and outcast.
Their story is undesirable in the Israeli discourse space.
Male violence and female violence are not the same thing, but they are equally painful.
If we do not recognize the problem in full, there will be no healing process.
When will the hashtag # Believe_You go?
siren
I do not know if you know, but I am the man who set up the "Committee for the Elimination of Unnecessary Things", and I also head it until the elections to be held in a few decades, without a vow.
We in the committee work day and night to map all the phenomena in human space, in order to remove issues that were once necessary and are no longer today.
This week we decided in our discussion on eliminating two things in the public space, and you are the first to know.
The first - the sirens of rescue and emergency vehicles.
Facing us were the facts: Any ride with an ambulance siren, a fire engine or a police car produces a noise nuisance, which is especially severe for people living on major roads, near medical centers, fire stations and police stations.
Even drivers stuck in a traffic jam in front of a rescue vehicle trying to sneak in and trying to create a path of progress for themselves with the help of a siren in a variety of styles report a stressful nightmare.
We checked and found that on every emergency trip thousands of uninvolved people are exposed to the disturbing noise, their blood pressure rises, they are sometimes attacked with small anxiety attacks and great anguish.
Do we really need to enter the homes of the uninvolved people with intrusive sirens whenever there is a patient who needs to be urgently brought to the hospital?
of course not.
It is a technological means of a hundred and more years, which must pass from the world.
In our laboratories in the front of Sisera, we have developed a simple application that will allow you to take over the phone of any driver when an emergency vehicle approaches him, and say: "Ambulance behind you, please move."
This.
The nightmare is over.
Of course we will make sure to record the message in male and female language.
The second thing that was discussed this week was the cash.
While laws have already been enacted against large cash transactions, it is time to completely part with the cash and tax evasion options it brings with it.
Today, when it is already possible to pay by attaching the mobile device to a small terminal without any code or awkwardness, it is time to print the last note and mint the last coin.
The pleasure of paying with my mobile is so intense, at least for me, that I find myself buying things just to put the phone on the device and hear the confirmation ring.
Yes, it works.
State revenues will skyrocket, many inconveniences will be spared, and the need to keep a few bills always in your wallet for some random tip will disappear.
Has a courier arrived?
Pinning the phone to his phone, and hop, the tip passed.
Cash was canceled.
It's time.
Next week we will discuss the question of what will replace the gas stations when all the vehicles will be electric in five years, and in newspapers printed on paper.
There may be a conflict of interest.
60
This week I celebrated a birthday. 59, for those interested. I always like to round my age up, so for me I'm 60. I once thought 60 was old age. Once upon a time it was really like this, when life expectancy was significantly lower, before they started prolonging old age. Today 60, if there is health and livelihood and family and children, it is an active age, a pleasant age, an age that announces: I have come this far. respect. I was not killed and I was not killed and I was not beaten or run over, and I did not get sick, the Creator will praise, and I have not yet met the angel of death. Simcha and Sasson.
60 It's for me an age to go up another step in preparation for old age, which is already clearly visible in the mirror.
Old age is not something that has happened to other people, but something that is already happening to me and requires preparation.
It is a process of disintegration that is not felt in adolescence, even though it is active even then, but in old age it demands its price.
The muscles disintegrate, thin, do not carry the body, are not flexible, do not prevent falls.
The uprightness bends, the movement tires, the consciousness flies.
The bones disintegrate, become brittle and hollow, fractures Allah will hide, platinum, months in bed, weakness, rehabilitation, disability, caregiver.
Not easy.
60 It's time to accumulate some more body and mind assets, which will be the reserve with which I will reach old age.
If I have stronger and more massive muscles, even when I lose half their volume, I will still have something to work with.
If I manage to moderate the osteoporosis process in the bones, I may fall and not break.
If I take care of my brain, I may not be a dementia of its kind, but I will be relatively clear.
I was never really clear to the end.
I learned from the best studies that it is important for me to lift weights first.
There is no other way to maintain muscle mass except by pushing heavy metals several times a week.
20 minutes at a time.
Not bad.
I learned that I must move too.
Not a lot, but the sedentary lifestyle is a familiar shortcut.
So I start my day with weight training at home, ride a bike to work, then a routine in the morning program, then water training.
And also jumps.
Important to the bones.
Only by jumping are they built.
Must hit.
And drink coffee most of the time.
A study was published this week that shows that drinking four cups of coffee a day lowers the chance of Alzheimer's by 35 percent.
There is justification for addiction.
And every week he writes a column.
This is serious brain training, equivalent to Bridge.
60 This is a great time.
Surprised for good.
Wishing you longevity and health.
I wish for me too.
