A woman just called me “uneducated” because I believe we should have offices of men’s health and we should provide more funding for men’s health.
Many like her suggest we shouldn’t care about men’s health today because “our healthcare system was based off male bodies.”
Men die earlier from 14 out of the 15 lead causes of death. Men’s life expectancy is dropping. Men are 4x more likely to die by suicide. Boys and young men are far more likely to be diagnosed with autism. Men are over two thirds of those who die by drug overdose. Men are more likely to die from cancer. Disabled men are 4 times more likely to die by suicide than non-disabled men. It was just confirmed that young men were indeed at greater risk of the covid vaccine, and men were more likely to die from covid for biological reasons. The list goes on and on why we need to care more about men’s health specifically.
The American Medical Association (AMA) just passed a formal resolution urging the establishment of Offices of Men’s Health at both the federal and state levels. I’m not alone in my thinking.
She can call me “uneducated.” But I call women like her misguided, heartless and short-sighted, blinded by their female victimhood mentality.
Boys’ and men’s health matters, too.
