Men's issues are often understood to be environmental: their mental issues and predatory or destructive behaviours stem from loneliness, poverty, not getting sex, being divorced, feeling humiliated, being abused as a kid, discrimination, owing money, playing video games, addiction, a nagging wife, ptsd from war, feeling emasculated, indoctrination, an overbearing mother, an absent father, whatever it is it's motivated by external factors.
But women are told that they are the problem, their personality is disordered, it's all in their heads, they need to change, to fit the mold, often times that mold is simply femininity and numbness.
There is a general impression, in the medical field, that women and girls can't be trusted to know what they think or how they feel. They are exaggerating, lying, manipulating, attention seeking, irrational, snakes who deserve to be punished for annoying the staff with their fake problems.
People have a low tolerance for women expressing emotions, especially anger, irritability, stubbornness, dissatisfaction or simply being loud, as well as a lack of interest in attracting men.
To keep women under control they pathologise everything we do therefore justifying unnecessary drug use, mostly sedatives. And of course, when women and girls aren't considered people, as is often the case in patriarchal institutions, then they aren't considered as deserving of agency or dignity.
But men and boys are people, they can express their emotions; aggressivity, anger, yelling, irritability, violence are considered normal male traits, so they are tolerated, justified and even expected. Men's problems are real, they are not attention seeking bitches, and they are human beings deserving of respect.
This is all despite the fact that most of the patients who attack medical staff are men.
