Damn. Mexican men live almost as many times as cats I guess.
Pretty sure I’ll only die once myself… but who knows, if I do die almost 9 times, that might be interesting… and traumatizing
Joking aside, I know OP just missed two bits in their title, “at a rate” and “higher”
En español, dijiste los hombres mueren casi ocho veces más que las mujeres en vez de decir que la tasa de defunción es casi ocho veces más alta y me dio risa

Almost 9. 8 more is not the same as 8 times (any humor aside, this is part of why communication is a critical skill in an analyst’s skill set - showing the right data and meaning to present the right conclusions doesn’t mean anything if the reader cannot interpret it properly)

You are dumb and your opinions are dumb. Also, your communication skills are atrocious.

Mexican here, this is true.
We are expendable, we are raised to protect and when a robbery occurs if you are a woman they steal you and three possible outcomes: just being robbed, being s*xually assaulted, getting kidnapped.
If you are a man, the robbers know you are a man, they take into account that you can defend yourself. That's why they go straight to k*ll you off. They only kidnap you if they know they can extort something out of you.
People without highschool education are from poor neighborhood, they are exposed to delinquents more frequently. They either work as cheap workforce, humble but honest, or they also become delinquents and therefore they get k*lled themselves.
It's sad that they get involved just because of the circumstances in which they were born.

>In Mexico men die almost 8 more times than women.
There are two possibilities here. One, Mexican men die eight times, while Mexican women only die once. Which is nice for the men, being resurrected like that all the time.
Two, Mexican men's death rate is 8 times what it is for women. Assuming the average Mexican woman lives to be 80, I believe this means the average life expectancy for Mexican men is 10 years old. This must be rough for women, having to choose between marrying a boy who is under the age of 10, or marrying a corpse.

Wait … what if we introduce Mexican women to Chinese men?

That’s a thing, a few million Mexicans have Chinese ancestry. It’s usually Chinese men getting with Mexican women.

Men in Mexico have 9 lives. Interesting.

I think the implication is actually that seven out of eight women are immortal.

Canadian here, this is all still true for all of the same reasons.

Most men die at age 9, and a few live to be 99 and have lots of children.

Currently, Mexico is the ultimate argument that the Death Penalty prevents crime. If killing criminals stopped crime, Mexico would be crime free

Criminally underrated comment. In a better reddit this would be showered in awards.

Mexico has no death penalty. And i have to say, the wording of your comment is as confusing as OP's title.

In the end there is no difference from a criminal being killed by state vs one killed by other criminals. In the end it's one less criminal in the country
