Misogyny in the ER
Women visiting the ER with visited emergency departments with chest pain waited 29 percent longer than men to be evaluated for possible heart attacks.
Women are also 25% less likely than men to recieve effective pain treatment - and, as well, have to wait on average 30 minutes longer to recieve any pain relief treatment than male patients.
Women's pain also gets judged as less intense and less serious than men's - with according results for female patients.
Especially in gynecolgical treatments, women's pain tends to be dismissed to exist at all with many invasive treatments regularly being performed without any numbing or pain relief at all.
Women are also more likely to wait longer for a health diagnosis in general and to be told it’s ‘all in their heads’/psychological. That can be lethal: diagnostic errors cause 40,000-80,000 deaths in the US alone - with women being up to 30% more likely than men to get misdiagnosed.

Travel around the social media verse, and you’ll soon run into a very familiar perspective of sexism.
One that tells us that whilst sexism goes both ways; misogyny against women remains endemic, and deadly, whilst misandry against men benignly paddles in the shallow end of sexism, more of an inconvenience than anything else.
As the meme goes – Misogyny kills, and misandry irritates.
One is a matter of life and death. The other just has to pay the bill on dates.
Misandry is sexism-lite; a kind of luke warm, off brand knock version of misogyny classic.
But of course, like most things you’ll read online, misandry is not trivial, to be relegated to the world of mere inconvenience, as like misogyny, it can kill too – and has.
If you don’t believe me – ask the countless hundreds of thousands of men and boys systemically exterminated in Anfal, or within Operation Searchlight, the 8,000 massacred in Srenbrenica, or many more disappeared in Kashmir.
History, and the present day, is full of examples of boys and men being sought out and punished, hurt or killed, purely because of their gender.
Misandry sleeps under bridges. Misandry drops out of school.
Misandry gave Europe its worst genocide since the Second World War..
And these deaths, disadvantages, and disspearances, cannot be watered down to men just ‘being irritated’.
Neither can the fathers who are losing children in family court, the survivors shut out of refuges, or indeed the hundreds of thousands conscripted in Ukraine, be rounded down, and reduced to ‘an inconvenience.’
What’s more the whole framing of misandry vs misogyny is entirely unhelpful.
It builds a divide where there should never be one, and turns one side against another, when it needn’t do so.
So why do we water down the experiences of men and boys across the world, why do we minimise their staggering loss of life, and why do we pit one sex against the other?

"Misogyny kills, misandry irritates" is still a useful rubric. It helps you very quickly identify the mentally ill and the sociopathic.

okay is she being actually immature or is it just a woman over 30 expressing a human experience you find to be immature.
like yeah. at certain ages... let shit go. im not defending the real immature shit. im not defending the karen you're picturing. i worked in retail i hate those people too. (once somebody got mad at me because she didn't like how our winter window decor was a snowman smoking a pipe. i wish i was joking).
but men at 57 will write books about how 17 year old girls are soooo sexy. they will invent worlds where women have to be naked for "armor reasons." they will write songs that treat women as objects. people rush to defend them. meanwhile a woman at 35 will be like "heartbreak is hard, actually" or "i feel betrayed by a friend" or "i am struggling with something emotionally." immediately people will say stuff like this woman is 35 by the way. by the way this woman is SO OLD to be experiencing this. BY THE WAY.
im 31, almost 32. the other day a poet was blasted online because at her "big age", she had written a poem about feeling unloved. top comment was "this woman is 29 by the way." this woman is too old to still be useful, by the way. she has to behave better . maybe if she was a good wife and mother she could stop existing loudly, and the story could continue on without her. this woman has served her purpose, by the way. she's so cringe, by the way. at 29 - so old! - she still hasn't figured out that her existence should be one of shame.
#what the fuck.#unfortunately by the time i'd switched accounts (from personal to my poetry one)#i couldn't find it :(#this is why u SEND URSELF THE POST. WHICH I KNOW TO DO BUT!!!#i was so mad i just was like “i'm about to tear this commenter in twain” and . lost da post#if u urself are the 29 and got recently flamed by instagram#i love u. come here. write with me. i was about to pick up a sword for u.#i mean a BIGASS sword.#like we all know im a wlw girlie but the way ppl will be like ''id NEVER write sad poetry about a MAN not LOVING me!!!"#..... wowwwww ur so cool. anyway. people often experience emotions regardless of what u consider cringe.#& if ur gonna shame straight/bi women for feeling a certain way. hope u never write about the#weird relationship between u and ur father. or feeling different from ur brother.#or how ur male best friend fucked u over. since it's SO CRINGE. to have ANY feelings caused by a MAN#like be so for real. beloved. nobody is fucking saying this when men do it.#''oh it's cringe to like a woman or feel heartbroken by her.''#controlling women's feelings and actions???? it's more likely than u think.#btw op is nonbinary do NOT be gender essential on this post i'll kill u with my teeth#edit: btw for the person who dm'd me ''when is it misogyny and when is it actually valid''#pretty easy. if a man had done it#would it be cringe? . like if a man sang a sad song about ''she broke my damn heart''?#if he said ''i want to have kids with her'' or something sexually explicit?? like would u even LIKE IT if a male poet had said it?#& if it's like. nah a 35 yr old man being upset about this is cringe too. yeah it's just cringe. that exists. we both know it does.#but .... often i see this ONLY about women. and i can't help but hear like. how back in middle school#we were fed the lie ''girls mature faster.'' ... why do i have to be emotionally regulated? but if a man wrote about the same things?#..... idk . im pretty anti cringe culture to begin with. but this one feels so bad to me . ur still a person past 33.

“But Skyler fucked Ted!” I wish she’d fucked Walter’s mom actually. I wish she’d told Walt to kill himself every day for breakfast lunch and dinner. I wish she had taught Holly to say “dad sucks” as her first words. So no she wasn’t perfect.

(person who physically cannot care about a character unless theyre hot and can be shipped yaoi style voice) no you don’t understand it’s not that I don’t like women it’s just that all of them in every piece of media are horribly written mary sues who are evil and bad. not my epic male blorbo who I ship with some guy he interacted with once and has every superpower, committed war crimes, and had 3 lines though. he’s awesome and well written and if you really think about it he’s the best character in the series

#medical misogyny
Misdiagnosed & Mistreated - Misogyny & Androcentrism in Medicine
Although it is a well established scientific fact that the female body acts and reacts medically often very different than the male body, these differences get widely ignored. This widespread misogyny and androcentrism in medicine frequently gets women misdiagnosed and mistreated, which often proves deadly.
Studies found that females presenting with a heart attack were more likely to die when a male doctor treated them, compared with a female doctor.
Women are also 50% more likely to get their heart attack misdiagnosed - for their (typical to females) symptoms get seen as atypical and often dismissed; based upon only male symptoms getting seen as typical and indicative.
Female patients are also less likely to be prescribed preventative treatment after an initial attack.
Women are half as likely as men to receive pain killers after surgery.
When getting surgery, women have a 32% higher risk of dying - when operated on by a male surgeon.
They also have to wait longer to receive pain management medication in emergency rooms as well as often simply getting sedated instead of recieving pain management. No such effect is seen in male patients.
Female patients generally have to wait for significantly longer timespans to get a diagnosis. Per example, it takes typically 2.5 more years for a woman to be diagnosed with cancer and 4.5 more years for a diabetes diagnosis compared with men. In total, women were found to get diagnosed much later in more than 700 diseases compared to men.

Indvisable tabletop RPG premise #137: solo journaling game where.. okay, you know that serialised boys' adventure schlock from the 1930s and 1940s where the writers needed the otherwise intensely homosocial male leads to be seen hanging out with girls in order to prove that they're not gay, but they didn't want to include more than one female character, so they'd have just the one girl and sort of imply-without-ever-directly-stating that she's dating all of them at once? Solo journaling game where you take on the role of that girl.

But suddenly, when it's a 19 year old girl, she's so mature for her age, she just gets him, she knows what she's doing. It's striking how often emotional vulnerability, particularly when expressed by women, is weaponized against them. You see it in conversations, in arguments—whenever a woman dares to reveal her pain, it's instantly flipped back on her as a character flaw. She s "too sensitive" or "just hurt." It s rarely framed as a natural human reaction. Your children can be taken from you, and you can be forced to pay child support and denied visitation. Yes, even if you aren't abusive, they can lie about you in court and have a fair shot at being believed. Especially if they're male. Online feminist discourse can feel disconnected from real-world activism, leading to a sense of frustration among those who want to see tangible change. Many argue that while digital spaces are useful for spreading ideas, true progress requires organizing in the physical world to challenge systems of oppression. Is it really worth all the risk? Ive had enough of peanuts always trying to tumblr in The mashed forest. Well never make it to the special room with all this banana.

These are links to both books in my Google Drive archive if anyone's interested to look look more into the topic.
Medical misogyny especially is - sadly - so extremely widespread and also one of the main pillars of misogyny. The male claim of female "inferiority" - be it physical, intellectual, emotional or even spiritual - is the top "argument" they use to justify the male-supremacist (sexual) colonization of women & girls, a.k.a. patriarchy.
Other very eye-opening books about medical misogyny are also these linked down below:

Hey gyns! I’ve recently just reread this book because after reading it a year ago, it’s still haunting me. This is a difficult read because of how dark the content is, but I think it’s important to read if you can get your hands on a copy.

She turned off reblogs so imma address it here.
NOT EVERYONE IS WHITE/WESTERN
YOU DUMBASS
When you mean 'socially acceptable', what you actually mean is
'normalised in western culture',
And that, was because of the 19th century dress reform movement. Also, overwhelmingly because it was a tool of feminist rebellion. Women were arrested en-masse, for wearing trousers in WW1, and yet they continued to do so, the clothing becoming an increasing point of protest, because before then, 'feminine' clothing, was extremely long skirt which were an actual danger to the female factory workers who were legally obligated to wear them.
The reason a similar movement did not be made for men, is because the male standard clothes were practical and not a legitimate physical danger. So the average man did not feel the need to protest these restrictions.
In fact men did not start using skirts/'feminine clothing' as a tool of rebellion en masse till the LGBT Rights movement.
On the other hand, feminine clothing has been GLOBALLY used as a TOOL OF OPPRESSION.
The modern day western world is one of the only places in World History, for perhaps all of human history, where men's clothing is more greatly monitored then women's. `
I will not mention the country where I am originally from because I feel like I've already said waaaaaay too much about myself online, and i'm paranoid.
But women and those AFAB are currently being shot dead in the streets of my country by morality police for- Not even wearing men's clothing- but just simply wearing SLIGHTLY TOO 'MASCULINE' (practical) CLOTHES.
So don't sit there in your fucking privilege and talk about how femininity in those AMAB is a more transgressive concept than masculinity in AFAB people.
Some of yall really need to learn about people outside your limited ass sphere
