Your anecdotal dismissal supports the parent commenter's point.

  It's fairly well-known that there is more medical knowledge about men, and women are affected in different ways by diseases, about which more knowledge is needed. See for example this article: https://www.ft.com/content/7864ae80-9597-11e8-95f8-8640db9060a7 https://www.ft.com/content/7864ae80-9597-11e8-95f8-8640db906...

    Indeed. And yet life expectancy is still lower for men, and is getting worse. Can we not talk about that for a moment?

      Sure we can, but I don't think it's very productive to start arguing that society doesn't care about men's issues. I don't immediately see what society has to do with the lower life expectancy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy#Sex_differences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy#Sex_difference...

        > and is getting worse You missed a pretty important part. I don’t see how that could be the result of anything other than society?
