Criticism

This from Glenn Sacks.

Fails to point out the disparity in health spending (8:1 in favour of women, according to Yvonne (Yvette?) Cooper, former (then current) health minister.

Also claims all research was once based on the white male. Truth is no-one wanted to test on women, too many hormones and trial-fucking variables. Besides, if they turn out to be pregnant and the baby is killed in a routine test they'll be sued to buggery. Hence testing was on men, and still is, less variables and less liklihood of suing. Not white men, mind. Must've never heard of Tuskegee, no women there.

Dear Mr D. Scum,
Its obvious from your blog that you have a beef against women. Why is that? Are you married?
If spending on health is higher on women its for the following reasons: women take more notice of their health and go to the doctors more than men, and women have babies, abortions, miscarriages etc which entail certain health risks and require treatment.
all the best

I've got no problem with women. Just the political makeup of modern society. And the more literal makeup those women wear, with its phthalates and so forth.

Also, I don't think it's likely an 8:1 health spending differential is due to pregnancy. Mostly it's due to greater spending on research into female problems, such as breast cancer over prostate cancer, and hypochondria.

thanks for your reply...but do you blame women for the fact that men are frequently reluctant to take care of their own health?
Also its not a good thing for women that medical trials are always on men, this means that dosages for women and children are often based on male dosages or a proportion thereof...
You know i checked some of your links, like I hate women and women rape... all of the sentiments expressed could be equally applied to men. The tips on 'getting women' such as how to avoid her becoming your girlfriend are quite humorous but also rather distressing. Personally I've had some pretty appalling experiences of male behaviour(particularly in relationships) but endeavour to abide by my own standards of integrity and honesty.
We are all the same underneath... we all hurt and dream...

I blame women for collectively being hypochondriacs at the expense of the tax payer. I blame to government for kow-towing to feminist policies.

"Also its not a good thing for women that medical trials are always on men, this means that dosages for women and children are often based on male dosages or a proportion thereof..."

Well, they generally perform a few trials on women to determine proper dosage and so on. The fact remains that they see female life as more valuable and less expendable than male life, a priveleged position.

"You know i checked some of your links, like I hate women and women rape... all of the sentiments expressed could be equally applied to men."

Of course. The point is that these sentiments are usually expressed ONLY about men.

This sums up, I guess, your position. I've never really thought about it this way before. You have a point: men are sent to war, traditionally it's women and children first etc...
I suppose that, on an evolutionary level, men are expendable once they've ejaculated but are also useful for the first few years of a childs life, to protect and continue the species...
Medically speaking again, one of the issues for women's health is that up till recently all doctors were men. They took women's health problems less seriously...hysterectomies were routinely performed as if this part of women's bodies were unnecessary...
I've suffered myself from that attitude from the medical profession. When I had a miscarriage 3 years ago, I knew there was something wrong, but no one would listen, thinking that I was being hormonal or 'hysterical'. Of course, turned out I was right...

Not really traditionally, that's a nineteenth century practice that was first introduced on a troop ship that sank off South Africa. Caught on from there.

"I suppose that, on an evolutionary level, men are expendable once they've ejaculated but are also useful for the first few years of a childs life, to protect and continue the species..."

ON an evolutionary level we could do with a few less people in the world, so any practice overvalueing wombs is likely to prove self-destructive soon enough.

But humans don't tend to think medically, I should hope.

"Medically speaking again, one of the issues for women's health is that up till recently all doctors were men. They took women's health problems less seriously..."

Today most new doctors are female, are you worried men's problems won't be taken seriously? (More than now, I mean.)

Male doctors don't take female problems less seriously. We have mostly male politicians and they're only too happy to bring in rape shield laws and oppressive domestic violence legislation and all the rest.

Feminism, indeed, was set up by the CIA and the international elite, pushed in the media, funded by the corporations and enforced by the muscle men in parliament.

There's as much blame for elite men as for women. I tend to look at people as individuals.

"hysterectomies were routinely performed as if this part of women's bodies were unnecessary..."

Well, it's unnecessary for survival. Luckily these days the old medical practice of creating work for themselves to boost profits, still healthy in America, has been stamped out by the NHS. No more tonsils and appendixes being ripped out of children, no more circumcision (not counting the Jews/Muslims/Ehtiopian Orthodox).

"I've suffered myself from that attitude from the medical profession. When I had a miscarriage 3 years ago, I knew there was something wrong, but no one would listen, thinking that I was being hormonal or 'hysterical'. Of course, turned out I was right..."

Or it was just a coincidence. A doctor's a doctor, don't expect female doctors to be uniquely empathetic and understanding, despite social ideas to the contrary.
