There’s been many documented cases of doctors misdiagnosing women purely based on gender, for example, dismissing complaints of pain. It can go either way, especially if the condition described is tied to an established oppressive stereotype.
okay… but that’s not what the previous poster was saying. They weren’t talking about under/misdiagnosing or anything about discrepancies in gender. They were dismissing the condition all together as a conspiracy to pacify and sedate kids who “ask too many questions” (have a condition). Based on their personal opinions.
So you don’t see the similarities between doctors being dismissive towards two groups of people who are generally seen by society as ones that have to be submissive?
no, I don’t. And frankly, if you do, you’re grasping at straws to make a very tenuous and forced point that misdirects from the topic being discussed.
I’m not saying that those aren’t issues or that don’t need to be addressed. I am saying, however, that it’s not THIS issue. And trying to turn that into this, just feels like a personal bias of yours and not a real connection.
