Its like the "life expectancy in the past was only 30!" meme. Its only true if you use pure raw numbers with no context.
In the historical case, it was because infant mortality was so high and if you made it to like age 7 you'd live a pretty normally long life. And currently its because men are both getting killed and killing themselves at a high rate, which again lowers the average a lot.
