I'm sorry for your pain friend it's unfair. But I could argue the opposite, that women have had it worse. The medical industry has a long history of gaslighting women and acting like their problems aren't real. Not to mention so so many other things. It's not all about finding a partner.
But it's not an either or equation. Everyone's pain is valid regardless of gender. No need to make a binary for suffering. We're all in pain. This doesn't even mention non binary or transgender people. But again it's not a competition.
The medical community gaslights based on gender, race, and age. As a white, late middle aged man, I can assure you that I'm treated way differently than others, and I'm treated way differently than when I was younger.
I have a bunch of wonky health issues such as fibromyalgia, Hashimoto's, neuropathy, hormone disregulation, etc., and unlike with others, not once has any specialist not given me 100% benefit of the doubt. Never once has there been any hint of "its all in my head", or any of the other nonsense.
A Black physician died of Covid-19 weeks after she described a White doctor dismissing her pain and concerns about her treatment as she lay in an Indiana hospital.
