I don’t think it comes down to gender. A single mother obtaining healtcare during pregnancy will probably be treated differently than a married one. Unfair, but sometimes this happens. But the same goes for men in certain situations.
I don’t think they are, however I do think there is a huge bias against the lower class. Many hospitals and doctors give half asss treatment to these people because they either so not have insurance or the Medicare they do have only pays for a small portion of the treatment…the hospital then eats the cost. This is becoming a larger concern with the government cutting health care on both federal and state levels.
As far as challenges in women’s health. I think there is a HUGE (no pun intended) to educate women about healthy weights. Big is beautiful, but only when you are not grossly over weight. There should not be the positive reinforcements for women who are not caring for themselves properly. It is true, that some simply cannot help it, but that is only true for a minority of obese women.
I also think we should be focusing more on heart health. Though breast cancer has been largely publicized as a threat, heart disease is the number one cause of death for women. It has begun to gain attention, but know where near what breast cancer has in the past. I think programs that support heart health need to be implemented on the same level as breast cancer has been.
I thik the Pill – in all these years they’ve never bothered to iron out the little problem of the side effect ‘low libido…’ :-/
In the health-care system, women are generally given more preferential treatment, as opposed to men’s health, which is largely ignored. Even though men die on average several years younger than women.
the government allots more money. 50% more money is spent on womens health than mens health. roughly 400 million for womens health and 200 million for mens health….
So in yet another field of interest feminists have proven themselves as opressor’s.
