Women's health problem: Society has failed women.

Men's health problem: Men bad.

Is it so hard to believe men care less about themselves when society itself treats them like shit and punishes them when they try to defend themselves?

63daddy · 2022-01-17T15:33:54+00:00

By the article’s own admission there is only a 4%. vaccination difference between men and women. How can they make all these sweeping generalizations about how men are so different when only a very small percent are making different vaccine decisions? 96% are making the same choices women make.

ABBucsfan · 2022-01-17T15:20:50+00:00

Tell that to my ex. She would eat chocolate bars late at night when everyone was asleep watching Netflix. My daughter would even find a few wrappers and comment. Also never went outside or did any form or exercise. I got fed up trying family hikes and things. Would have my youngest in my shoulders with a heavy backpack and would be waiting on her huffing and puffing like she's about to collapse. Even turned around 15 mins one time and said she'd wait in the car. My parents were visiting and they were also waiting on her when I took them to the mountains. But of course I was to blame for her health issues later.

I know the stereotype exists that married men are healthier, but she shut down my going to the gym, running etc. Always a guilt trip. Wasn't until we were on path to divorce I wasnt taking that crap

KingMitchelson · 2022-01-17T16:19:58+00:00

Well I think it’s because of the side effects of this specific vaccine are occurring most frequently in young men, not because they don’t take good care of themselves.

aigars2 · 2022-01-17T14:29:33+00:00

/Doctors, psychologists, evolutionary theorists seem to agree that it all comes down to men having a higher tolerance for risk. But untangling the cause is complicated. Some researchers think the trait is a genetic holdover from ancient times, when men who engaged in aggressive, risk-taking behavior could out-compete their peers for mates and food./

BS. Men are just most ignored and vilified part of society. As a proof. What is the most affected group in this tabloid story? NOT men!

JoyousCreeper · 2022-01-17T16:32:19+00:00

The reason we "don't take good care" of ourselves is because society shuns us caring about ourselves

gratis_eekhoorn · 2022-01-17T17:15:52+00:00

wait didnt guardian recently made an article about women are refusing to get vaccinated because medical industry hasnt gained their trust?

SuaveFuck · 2022-01-17T17:52:33+00:00

come to think about it, THAT IS ACTUALLY REAL SEXISM RIGHT THERE.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2022-01-17T18:06:28+00:00

Or maybe the CDC recommending pregnant women be prioritized explains at least part of the difference.

Inevitable_Brain9852 · 2022-01-17T18:10:53+00:00

Again it all falls back to being told to “man up” or “just deal with it” when we do talk about issues. Which when most of society tells us that of course we don’t take care of our selfs because everyone craps on us when we try.

Machomuk89 · 2022-01-18T01:22:36+00:00

I lead a far healthier lifestyle than at least 80% of women I know.

Remote_Pro · 2022-01-17T13:56:47+00:00

Well, I didn’t take it because I don’t care what happens to me

ThePigmanAgain · 2022-01-17T19:59:45+00:00

Yes, and who TEACHES them to not take care of themselves? Who tells them to take it like a man? Who tells them to hang tough? Who tells them to man up? Our stinking, man-hating society, that's who.

shaunm1022 · 2022-01-17T15:52:43+00:00

I didn't take it because I heard that it affects your heart and I have heart disease in both sides of my family also for some reason the disease only affects men in my family and I just can't risk that plus I heard that side effects from the vaccines are mostly aimed at men/boys

OldEgalitarianMRA · 2022-01-17T13:26:02+00:00

Men do need to take better care of themselves. I have a friend who is a nurse in a doctors office and she says that many more married men come in for routine physicals.

Get your routine physicals. Get vaccinations, HPV, COVID, Hepatitis is your sexual active. Get a yearly blood test. Men are behind on all screening tests compared to women.

Taroda · 2022-01-17T16:44:21+00:00

I just want evidence that these vaccines are safe in the long run, since they skipped the usual 5-10 year longitudinal safety studies.

I'm absolutely disgusted by a majority of society. Boomer politicians never gave a fuck about the environment, which is a much bigger problem than COVID, but as soon as a disease targets them specifically suddenly the economy and human rights need to shut down. Young people only needed to be scared a little bit to blindly trust pharma companies. Tons of morons actually believe science is about "trusting the expert" and "scientific consensus".

I hope when this is over, we can rebuild a world with better people.

420Riffs · 2022-01-17T23:21:20+00:00

Really? This whole article is centered around a 4% difference? 57% of men vs 61% of females? Dumb as hell.

Edit: The most recent stat is 0.5% difference... Zero. Point. Five. Percent. Difference.

MEN JUST AREN'T GETTING VACCINATED CUZ MEN DON'T TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES!!! 😂

Sotemal · 2022-01-18T01:35:02+00:00

No, i don't take it because i don't trust or agree with the msm narrative. No amount of propaganda will sway me, and i worry more for the people losing their livelihoods for not complying than I do about the virus in general. I've had covid and feel that it is a rough flu at worst. It makes sense that people with comorbidities are at risk, but the general population shouldn't have to cater to that, especially since the human intervention is prooving to be just as harmful as the virus itself. We are fighting against a power that is trying to collapse society and rebuild it into a global totalitarian system. The lockdowns and mandates are forcing a schism in our society. If you don't comply you will likely lose your job, and soon your right to visit public spaces, and after that you will be fined into prison (covid camps) and you'll be lucky to have any freedom or autonomy at all. They want the world to fall in line. No one is safe until we all wake up from the fever dream they are infecting us with. Turn off your tv and go talk to people in your life. Draw your own conclusions together, think for yourselves.

Rabidraccoon76 · 2022-01-17T22:09:17+00:00

Neither of these “reporters” looked like someone I would turn to for health advice

AdComprehensive1312 · 2022-01-17T14:18:50+00:00

I had covid, my natural immunity is far superior to a shot that only has an efficacy of about 20 weeks. Which is why they are already talking about a 4th booster. People still have immunity to SARS-cov1 18 years later and the two viruses are 90% similar.

From the CDC....." we have no record of an unvaccinated person spreading COVID after recovering from COVID." Cant say that about the vaccinated super spreaders.

You men (under 25’s) should do research into the vaccine before taking it. Myocarditis.

LM1120 · 2022-01-17T12:36:00+00:00

More like, men are less likely to be controlled by fear and threats

Double_Pickaxe_YT · 2022-01-17T19:03:14+00:00

The vaccines don't work. If they did, we wouldn't need masks and lockdowns and boosters!!!

bottleblank · 2022-01-17T14:47:31+00:00

Anecdata: I'm a man, I've had the two initial jabs and the booster jab offered to me under the health system. Even though it was awkward to travel to them and I'm not terribly fond of injections.

I might be less likely to seek healthcare in general, or to wait much longer before I consider something to be enough of a problem that I need to go to a doctor, but certainly here in the UK I think it would be difficult to use the COVID vaccines as an example of that.

Then_Bat_1961 · 2022-01-17T19:57:16+00:00

Why would I trust this government.
They dont every abide by their own laws . They are protecting child rapest (Epstein Maxwell) All child services offices are in business complex not government buildings.
They steal our children hold them hostage force parents of both sexes to pay ransom too have and keep your children

Now they want me to trust them ????

JoyousCreeper · 2022-01-17T16:31:06+00:00

There is no proof that it helps, but there is proof that it can kill or badly injure you

Drazer_Pride · 2022-01-17T18:44:09+00:00

They don't take the vaccine because it is a POISON KILLER. It's just a tool to control the masses and reduce the population. I will die on the street but will never vaccinate. No good person deserves to be treated like shit. Please you all be safe.

Tensor23 · 2022-01-17T23:39:09+00:00

The covid vax has killed more people then it’s saved. They are smart men.

Aimander · 2022-01-17T20:05:47+00:00

Nah, i just don't want it

Extra-Strike2276 · 2022-01-17T20:55:16+00:00

I think it all comes down to fear. There is so much fear going around, and honestly I'm not even slightly worried about it. I had covid a while back and I'm a severe asthmatic, and barely had an issue with it. Just felt like a long lasting cold that also took my smell and taste away for a month. I understand a lot of people have issues with it, but the large majority won't.

Everyone should be more concerned about the fear being used against them. There's tons of conspiracy theories that are really ridiculous, but if you say anything negative about the vaccine you're lumped into them. It's like most don't remember, or know our governments have done some really bad things in the past, and those were ridiculed as conspiracy theory at the time too. Fear is often used as a tool to control people by our governments, just look at the last 20 years and all the little freedoms they took by using fear. They just keep taking little bits (for our safety) at a time, and it didn't seem that bad till you look at the bigger picture and what all they've taken. Just look at what people are willing to do for safety from this virus.

My main issue is there is no liability for injury with this vaccine. For example if I did get effected by the side effects (which I understand is unlikely for the ones we currently know about) who will take care of my family? It not worth the risk since I know covid barely effected me. Meanwhile It's being forced on so many and it you do get the supposed low chance (which went from zero and has keep rising) side effects, you're screwed. If you say something about the side effects the response is something like "it's a really small chance just man up". Nevermind that this "vaccine" has the highest chance (by a large margin) of side effects when compared to other vaccines most people get in thier life. Then it only lowers your symptoms, but it's being promoted like a shield against spreading or catching it. The whole thing just seems off to me.

Training_Position642 · 2022-01-17T17:46:34+00:00

I don't really feel like not taking or taking the vaccine means you don't take good care of yourself, you can still be a well put together man who is in good physical and mental health who doesn't want the vaccine and I don't think that means he's taking poor care of himself. People are looking for any way possible to stretch as far as they can to bash other people

DetectiveJonny · 2022-01-17T18:49:48+00:00

Irrelevant post because, I know many many men who m have taken the vaccine.

Itsfreddyboy1 · 2022-01-17T18:52:05+00:00

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Self care is important for both women and men.

andejoh · 2022-01-17T20:47:29+00:00

I've been vaccinated twice. I got vaccinated by my PCP. How did I find out they offered the shot? He happens to be my mom's doctor too. His female office manager called my mom to ask her if she wanted the shot. She didn't call me, but my mom told me they offer it.

Are men really less likely to take it or are they just not serviced by the medical profession to the same extent as women.

MrSmokescreenMan · 2022-01-18T04:01:22+00:00

Men of ages between 12 and 20ish are also more likely to die of the vaccine than covid. (Australia)

NoTown7511 · 2022-01-18T05:07:00+00:00

Real men don't get fake vaccines when the chance of death is only .01%... Men do dangerous things all the time that have much higher changes of death. Last time I counted at the gym, it was 10 to 1 men to women.

pacsatonifil · 2022-01-17T19:24:25+00:00

No matter the reason it’s horrible and too many young men are dying. This is why men need male only spaces and organizations and not to tell them they are less than or worse than. Just to help them.

nonchalanthuman · 2022-01-17T21:28:07+00:00

Gender discrepancy where men fair worse - it's men's fault

Gender discrepancy where women fair worse - it's men's fault

rainbow_bro_bot · 2022-01-17T21:54:37+00:00

IMO there's a lot of ridicule about men looking after themselves. If a man feels unwell people laugh and say "haha he must have the man flu!", if a man feels depressed people will again ridicule and say "man up and stop being so weak!". This will discourage him from seeking suitable help.

Yet if a woman feels unwell physically or mentally, no matter how trivial, she is always encouraged to have it checked out and noone will make jokes or ridicule her.

Society treats women much better.

For what it's worth, I'm male and I've had the 2 vaccinations and the booster.

Huffers1010 · 2022-01-17T22:40:47+00:00

I wouldn't have used that phrase, although much of the article does seem genuinely concerned with men's health, so I guess that's something.

RagGnarRocky · 2022-01-17T23:36:44+00:00

I've heard more women talk about their refusal to get the vaccine because of the "dangers to reproduction". We don't need more of you anyway, Sniffany.

DuneBug · 2022-01-18T02:07:45+00:00

The difference was 4%. If you control for jobs in health care and education I'd bet that 4% disappears.

I'm in the pro-vax crowd but a landscaper or roofer are not at the same risk as a schoolteacher or nurse.

frustr8tion · 2022-01-18T04:31:16+00:00

Actually, after reading the article, it does imply the psychology behind the decision making basically comes down to indoctrinated low self worth from society telling men they ain't shit.

Fucking click bait.

pinghat20 · 2022-01-18T06:28:46+00:00

It’s easier to be the best female Apple Pie maker in your town than it is the be the best man at anything in your street.

Think about that for a minute, let it sink in.

What I mean is - it is absolutely exhausting trying to be the best at your job as a man… but for my mother and her mother, if you could make a good Apple Pie, you were hot shit…

I would throw all my tools and business in the river in 2 seconds flat if I could stay at home and bake food.

Fuck…. I wish I had a vagine in 1960

No wonder Betty White lived so long… best gender in the best years…

maxthyson · 2022-01-18T09:37:35+00:00

Going to the doctor seems like a waste of time. Last time I called because I was coughing and puking snot and slime for 3 weeks and the nurse on the phone said “what do you want me to do about it?”. Wonderful Denmark with government healthcare 👏

Historical-Friend-41 · 2022-01-30T12:28:05+00:00

No that still means they dont take good care of themselves cause that shit is garbage.

Henchforhire · 2022-01-19T08:04:34+00:00

Just don't see the point of taking something that doesn't really protect you against COVID-19 with you being able to still get it and spread it around and needing booster shots to keep from getting it.
