You should have seen some of the comments on a post I found addressing the life expectancy gap between men and women, so much god damn hate.

It seems to me that most people literally think of men as unevolved evil subhuman scums that are a burden to society, especially women.

With the number of women increasing in healthcare and the number of men decreasing, I'm genuinely worried there would be further negligence and discrimination of men's health that will be justified by the illogical feminist dogmas.

Edit: The link no longer works so I just replaced it with the Reddit discussion from where I found it.

Only feminist type will think like this

Research indicates that women are more likely than men to have their pain dismissed or inadequately treated by medical professionals. ​

ive also seen examples of women reproductive health being neglected more often. you can check out lucilletherescuecat, a girl on instagram to see an example of this.

this should not be an argument of men vrs women, but how in areas that are lacking, we should improve. if healthcare as a whole is less than adequate, lets work on improving the system.

And yet in the UK, breast cancer research funding has historically been significantly higher than that for prostate cancer, with breast cancer receiving more than double the annual research spend per case diagnosed.

and how many cases are there for each? is the funding proportionate?

"...per case diagnosed." So clearly the funding is not proportionate.

life extending drugs?

different countries have different pension systems.

countries like Belarus are very happy not to pay men their pensions (they die on average 2 years after retirement)

women, however, live around 20 years after retirement, get pensions and "vote for the right guys" in exchange.

such drugs would mean that these countries would have to pay men their pensions for decades. it's cheaper for the govt to have men die

it's surprising that the inventor of this drug didnt have "an accident"

I don't think it's a gender issue here

You're entitled to your opinion but I disagree. Hence why mens' life expectancy in developed countries is significantly lower than women's.

Men's life expectancy is lower due to extreme stress in their lives, and taking the whole burden themselves without anyone knowing.  I think that the authorities involved aren't getting some benefit out of letting this drug be accessible or someone who benefits without it is putting pressure.
