You know all that medical gaslighting and not having their problems taken seriously women complain about?

Men don’t experience that as much because we just don’t go to the doctor in the first place.

hell yeah brother we don’t need a doctor to gaslight us, we can do that just fine on our own, repeatedly saying “i’m fine, it’ll go away soon anyway” (half joking)

Unless I’m literally bleeding out, I’d rather shoot myself in the dick than go a doctor

  But if you shot yourself in the dick, now you’re bleeding out.

As a cis male, I’ve found the opposite to be true. I do go to the Dr. for all kinds of stuff. I also tend to tell it like it is when in a consult/visit. That’s where I noticed that things are backwards for me. I’m taken too seriously, as though I’m under-playing my symptoms. It’s actually led to a few cases of being over-prescribed on things.
