I am not a female, but I feel like I can add something to this that not alot of people may know.

Needed medical care.

As a Male I have received a noticeable difference in what I recieve in terms of medication and treatment compared to my female friends, and family members.

As an example, for the past 2 years I've been feeling with heavily cavitied wisdom teeth. The cavities are a product of my obsession with soda and feeling that mouth wash was all I needed (boy was I dumb). I had a friend who had a similar issue and she had it resolved in a couple of months, and got pain medication in the meantime to help her.

However I've gone to the emergency dental, and regular dentist many times these past few years and I've gone in at times unable to functionally walk or talk, due to shaking from the amount of pain I was in. During these times the staff wouldnt even look at me, and I was ignored for a solid 2 hours at one place that I was referred to for "very fast service ".

Whenever the dentist finally came to talk to me, she told me that shed have to set me up with a scheduled appointment to be able to see me, and that all she could prescribe me was some ibuprofen for the pain.

And of course I've been unable to pay the two $ 800 copay that I have despite 2 insurances because I'm a young adult male.
