Same with dentists and doctors, not only do we have to pay the retarded prices they charge, we have to give up a day's pay to do it. Last time I was at the dentists for ~2 hours, like 3/4 of that time spent waiting even though I have an appointment, costs me 600 + a day pay. That's a big chunk of cash.

In Australia there are hundreds of publicly funded Women's Health units in the community, but no Men's Health units. There are scores of Women's Health subjects available to health care professionals, but few Men's Health subjects. All but one of the Men's Health subjects are based on feminist ideology and the premise that men are broken women. Mental Health and suicide counselling services are heavily influenced by feminist ideology and the APA position that sees masculinity as a pathological ideology.

Health services are openly hostile to men and boys.

Signs like these

I'm female and went through a period of trying to get therapy because my family and partner thought that was more important than addressing various parts of my life that needed addressing and they have the power to address (I can't be bothered to explain here tbh, some of my older posts might illuminate that a bit).

Anyway, I saw a really, really terrible GP. She was a nice enough person but terrible at her job. Anyway, I kept on saying I was being messed around and rather than say 'I'm going to write a letter, this isn't on!' she told me to 'Go to the Women's Centre, they have NHS funded counselling specifically for women' to which my response was 'No.'

For two reasons: 1) I wouldn't appreciate a service which, at its core, was treating my problems from a position of gender. That's incredibly condescending. 2) I know so many men who need help. I don't want NHS funding to go to me because I am woman+depression. Just help those that need it. Sorry if that's too 'reductive' for some people but when you make up a bunch of bureaucratic rules to ration out help, you waste much needed resources and leave behind some really desperate people.

I would argue, though, that 9-5 affects women as much as men if they do those hours. Out of all the men I know, many work nights/evening shifts or have flexible working so can have a work from home day. I do think this is one of those places where gender 'politics' is really dumb because the people it does affect (for example, most primary school teachers are female, and most primary school teachers will be working/coming home from work between those hours) are a mix of men and women and a lot of people aren't affected who are men and women.

Structural barriers to men receiving care.

Those referring to toxic masculinity never seen to mention the lack of services targeting and available to men. Thanks for posting this.

You know what, I always got wierded out that nearly every shop and business keeps the same schedule. Some people would never eat if supermarkets did the 9-5 only.
