How about:
The Gender Deaths at work Gap
The Gender Suicide Gap
The Gender Homelessness gap
The Gender Education Gap
The Gender Medical research Gap
The Cancer Death Gap
The Casualties of War gap

I dont think pain gap is a legit thing ppl need to bitch about. Ppl experience pain different, men women etc. Ppl will have situations the other sex cannot experience just by biology. I think the biggest thing is we need to listen to eachother when someone says "hey im in pain because of x and it is a __ out of 10." And support them and get them medical help.

And doctors and nurses especially need to take ppl seriously with it. You may not think it's that bad but you're not in their body experiencing it. You need to listen to the patient and take it seriously.

Like I have endometriosis, my periods are like someone is stabbing me with literal Glass for 1.5 weeks a month. I've passed out. It's horrible and luckily.many others don't have to experience it. Docs just need to take it more seriously

They often cry that all medication is geared towards men and their bodies. They argue that the reason for this is the patriarchy. When in fact the real reason for this is that whenever an unknown drug is tested on a human, it's almost always a man. We get the privilege of being lab rats after trials are successful on real rats.

lumpynose · 2023-05-04T18:44:49+00:00

This comes up chronically on twox.

Even when their doctors and nurses are women they claim that the medical community is ignoring their greater pain. And of course in their minds it's yet another example of the patriarchy screwing them over for no logical reason.

To me it's yet another example of evolution with men being emotionally stronger and not bursting into tears at the first sign of pain and difficulty.

On a similar topic, one of the repeated posts on twox that shows how emotionally fragile they can be is when they get a pap smear; having an gynecologist (typically female) examining their vagina is very traumatizing. Some of them are crying during the entire procedure.

TrueNeutrall0011 · 2023-05-04T22:57:02+00:00

I've had broken bones and been denied painkillers because it's seen as drug seeking behaviour. Took me several hours to convince them I was actually in pain, simply because I couldn't stop saying fuck over and over again lmao. They knew by that point too I had a broken bone. Medical staff can be Sadistic as fuck. And God help you if you try to speak up about it because then you're abusing them and you're in deep shit.

Huh. Kind of like women now that I think about it.

Of course these idiots think it's a gender specific problem. It's the ace to get any problem solved and even the Sadistic ass fuck doctors will tremble when called MISOGYniE!

Luftywaffle · 2023-05-04T19:18:31+00:00

This reminds me of that office heat thing where it was hotter for females than guys or something

Catch-the-Rabbit · 2023-05-05T01:50:04+00:00

Imo it is important with your GP to be of the same gender as you.

Men don't understand menstrual cramps just like women don't understand testicular sensitivity.

Women are thought to be oversensitive and emotional while men are thought to be stoic and not need help.

We can do better for each other.

lewandisney69 · 2023-05-04T20:09:57+00:00

Bro they find absolutely everything to complain about

women wait on average 65 mins in hospital waiting rooms, while men wait 49 mins

Literally something in this person’s article lol

Harsh-Pain-No-Gain · 2023-05-04T18:20:17+00:00

This is Unacceptable!

This is the Most Victim Complex link I have EVER Encountered.

Have they Ever by Chance heard about such thing as Painkillers?

This is exaggerated. I don't feel sorry for their victim playing ass.

I would tell them straight to the face: Pain will leave once it is DONE teaching you!

I Don't go easy on women. Shame and Disgrace that they whine about God Pain, instead of Using the Pain to derive the Lessons.

But I will always go easy on men. They are the Unsung heroes. Their Pain remains most unnoticed. Remember the Empathy gap? Angers me to Death.

Women playing victims are of the worst. I will NEVER tolerate them.

There is No such thing as Pain Gap. It's only a Fictional Movie. Just like Misogyny.

Dinobot29 · 2023-05-04T23:51:19+00:00

Just more made up BS to make people feel bad for existing.

NotReallyFunny28 · 2023-05-05T03:25:56+00:00

New agenda is the gender pain gap? Wtf?

Everyone has different pain tolerance. Just like tolerance to spicy food, pain is just the same: random across all race and gender. We can not quantify and generalize people's pain tolerance as a whole. You can pluck or wax my hairs and I wouldn't scream or flinch. You can take me to carnival rides, and it wouldn't faze me. When I was a kid, I had my eyebrow stitched without sedatives from an accident, and the accident that left my eyebrow skin tore open bleeding didn't even faze me. I just walked it all off. Wisdom tooth sprung early and got cavities, had to muster up courage after 4th try of numbing needle failed to numb me, didn't even cry compared to the boy before me who had pasta application on his front tooth.

The menstrual pain that women claim is that painful, have tolerance built up from doing martial arts while on period and pain doesn't bother me unless I want to take leave off. Pain gap only exists if people will gender generalize specific groups of people's pain tolerance.

“Men had an average waiting time of 49 minutes”

When I was 17, I had extreme abdominal pain, which was later found out to be appendicitis. I waited from 10am to 5pm in a waiting room just to get seen to. Wasnt allowed any food or water either, and I hadnt had breakfast as I went straight to GP, then ER, after waking up

7 hours of “this could burst and I could die right now”

NeoNotNeo · 2023-05-05T03:21:45+00:00

The everything gap

Back to work lads. Momma needs the red heels.

Johndax2023 · 2023-05-04T22:12:22+00:00

Nah... they are strong!! they can take it!! brave and stunning!!

niko_xf · 2023-05-04T18:25:41+00:00

That's a good think. They will turn all their efforts into mockery. Just give it time.

ZekalMacabre · 2023-05-04T22:41:42+00:00

More feminist mental gymnastics. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Wasteofoxyg3n · 2023-05-04T21:40:22+00:00

Professional victimhood.

stupid_pretty · 2023-05-04T19:43:44+00:00

This is actually true, it's no fault of men, perhaps the higher addiction levels for men could be being done purposely. It's an interesting issue. On one hand women do naturally better handle pain due to our hormones. We have to get through the pain of a melon tearing its way through a grapefruit size opening. So yeah, nature gave us a bit of help lol. But how we all absorb & utilize pain meds are tricky because we're all different races (even though some say our only difference is our skin tone, that's just not true & it's a disservice not to fully investigate what makes us different, the positive & the negative). I had read about this like 11 years ago & can't find the articles & studies I read now. I was in pain management for a back injury & Vicodin wasn't working, it stopped working an hour before the next dose & left me w/ a bad headache. The doctor mentioned that I may be a super metabolizer or resistant. I starting looking into that & found that my racial makeup (Amerimutt, native American & Northern European make it more likely I could have issues w/ metabolizing meds. I think so many women experience issues w/ pain management is because we're not great at advocating for ourselves, we're more likely to just accept what a doctor says as gospel. I'm babbling, but yeah, there are a lot of problems in healthcare, this is a real one that existed even before the government's war on pain killers (which hasn't helped, it's actually worsened addiction w/ the rise of cheap fentanyl. I wonder who was bribed to make that happen?

Usual-Effect1440 · 2023-05-06T20:55:56+00:00

women(literally dying of heartattacks because of men with this kind of mindset telling them their periods aren't that bad and they're too sensitive bc of complaining abt them)

those men: “The gender pain gap”. Whatever next.

AndyBrown65 · 2023-05-05T01:45:11+00:00

“Medical misogyny “

itchyscratchy14182 · 2023-05-05T04:24:20+00:00

Wtf, so now having a biology as a female also counts as gap. Stop with this nonsense. Wtf, sometimes I'm ashamed of being a females seeing all this nonsense.

CartographerWrong968 · 2023-05-05T04:56:32+00:00

What next 'gap' is awaited to be filled? I am truly scared lol

TracyMorganFreeman · 2023-05-05T05:10:27+00:00
