To ask why women's healthcare is so bad

[SerenePeach]

On the news yesterday was a feature on womens healthcare. I have endometriosis and lived in pain for 15 years before getting a diagnosis and treatment. Women were telling of how they lost internal organs to endometriosis due to their care being so delayed. This happened to me too.

A gynaecologist was interviewed saying she felt so helpless with over 750,000 women on the waiting list. She said whenever there are cut backs gynaecology is always the worst impacted. Why?

I don't believe it's as simple as men don't care about women and men are in charge. So why is this happening? Really? Can anyone shed any light? Gynae illnesses cost the economy 11 billion a year in lost work through sickness so money alone should motivate the powers that be to improve women's health care, so why isn't it happening?

At best most men are indifferent to women's pain, let's be honest, prostitution wouldn't exist if men cared about women's suffering. Most porn is predicated on ill - treating women, it is very clear many men enjoy this. Until all men learn to treat women as equal and as human as they are nothing will change. When violence against women and girls is increasing but women are still often not believed or taken seriously, things will probably get worse. Most male politicians mouth platitudes to fool us into believing they give a damn, but they rarely actually do anything.
