On the other hand, men on average live shorter, and we just go “well it’s just risky behavior and physical labor I guess 🤷♂️” and they’re aren’t any task forces for that either, truth is we as a society don’t care enough about these issues regardless of sex
I’m on the fence with your comment. Society viewing men as disposable is definitely a thing, and we do end up doing more hazardous and physically demanding work on the whole. The risks are real. Some of our mortality is hardwired, with men more prone to taking risks, which also drags the average.
You are also right about society not caring, though I would argue it’s the system we subscribe to.
I’m hesitant to fully jump on board with your comment because it’s close to bringing the whole ‘men too’ crowd which often has a note of toxicity to it.
The argument shouldnt be men vs. women, but people vs. those who exploit us, or people vs. the problem
It’s the phrasing- it is very easy for those who don’t look deeper to think this a men vs. women thing, and the commenter is stating that while he agrees with the idea, the phrasing is very easy to misunderstand.
A lot of it is self-inflicted. Largely do to machismo culture, men tend to avoid the doctor. Women are less likely to be pig-headed about going to the doc.

This is what I tried to hint at.
No it’s exactly what you said. Not sure why OP is on the fence.

I subscribed to this? Could I see my signature on this contract?

Women: goes to doctor, doesn’t get good help because doctors suck, bad outcome.
Men: doesn’t go to doctor in the first place because doctors suck, bad outcome.

Personally I don’t go to the doctor because I am broke
