“Brave Men” and “Emotional Women”: A Theory-Guided Literature Review on Gender Bias in Health Care and Gendered Norms towards Patients with Chronic Pain

Analysis: Women’s pain is routinely underestimated, and gender stereotypes are to blame

There are hundreds more papers like this from many different countries.

There are also hundreds of reddit threads about this, with thousands upon thousand of replies from women all over the world, who also attest to it.

And queer men usually have some understanding of intersectional feminism these days, and have likely experienced some form of medical discrimination due to homophobia.

Not to mention folk of colour in predominantly white countries, who also regularly face medical discrimination.

So not believing that women (and female presenting folk) have a harder time accessing the healthcare they need, is yes, a very straight, white, male privileged point of view.

I do admit though that I am just guessing you are white and living in either the US, Canada, Australia, NZ, UK or Western Europe, mostly based on the fediverse demographic.

I wish the world was a better place too. On the plus side, what with WW3 and climate collapse on the horizon, at least it will all be over soon.

Can you show me where I'm bring aggressive and lashing out please?

Ask some of the women in your life about what it's like trying to access healthcare. Ask how often they're listened to by doctors and how much respect is given when they say something is wrong.

Let me guess, you're a man? A most likely white, cis and straight, man.

How am I doing?

Oh hey, I have something for this.

From experience, 'making it somebody else's problem' by asking for help, rarely ends well or gets you the help you need. It just makes you an annoyance and look bad, and eventually people (healthcare workers included) decide you're malingering and/or attention seeking and start treating you even worse.

Isn't life fun.

And when the doctor decides you're an attention seeking malingerer and refuses to help, what then?

Is there an anime about this yet?

The butterfly it turns into has magic girl vibes.

Now do giraffe fauns. At least giraffe centaurs have those counterbalancing rear legs, giraffe fauns would need to be half as wide as they are tall to have abs strong enough to keep themselves upright. And with those tiny spindly legs they have, even if they do leg day religiously and bulk them up they'll still be teetering about on two little hooves.

I use rdx.overdevs.com to read reddit still as it has a lot more fashion, art and vegan content than here, but the only places I interact online in that way anymore are the Fediverse and Fragrantica, but the latter only really for perfume related stuff.

Always has been.
