So do you disagree with the part of the article that points a finger at traditional expectations and stereotypes, such as:
> “We used to think women were overutilizing health care, and men were doing it correctly,” Griffith said. “What we realized was that women were doing it better, mostly for preventive care, and men were actually underutilizing health care.”
> Cultural biases around masculinity that teach boys and men to hide their feelings and not complain also can influence men’s health.
> But even when visits for pregnancy are excluded, research suggests that women still are twice as likely as men to schedule regular annual exams and use preventive services.
I don't think we ever had healthy male role models that were concerned about going to the doctor regularly, say.
(The article also talks about some systemic issues in the last section, from two women at the Washington Post; as a result are these women being labeled as "oppressor class torch-carrying Capitol-storming MAGA cultist or to worshiping Andrew Tate" anywhere?)
